Thread: Cheap way to get white sheets

Tweet

I posted this last year but couldnt find my thread. If you need to get some white sheets and dont want to spend alot. HERE IS A WAY TO GET THEM INEXPENSIVE.! hotels and motels will sell you sheets very very cheap! Some will charge under a buck for a sheet! Just remember use caution w/ them under black lighting lol

Value Village!! If you have one in your area, I get my white, black, red and purple sheets,,table clothes etc there every year. A twin may cost $2.00 and so on. Great place!

ANY purchase such as this should go straight to the bleach bin before you bring 'em in the house..... then hot dry the Hades out of them unless you want to re-live a scene from Attack of the Bug People!

Thanks for the tip! I was looking for a bunch of white sheets for some time, since I'll be covering all my living room furniture for my vacant house theme. Plus, I also need one for my ghost of Charlie Chaplin costume. I think I've gradually acquired enough from flea markets and estate sales, but I was really having a lot of difficulty finding a good deal on plain white sheets for a while. I would like to add that if you need a really big white sheet for a large piece of furnitue or whatever, I discovered that painting drop cloths could be a good, cheap alternative.

Ewwwww! Try explaining THAT to your neighbors!

Oy! You know they do wash the sheets between customers!

(also most party blacklights don't really do a good job at lighting up organic stains without amber glasses to filter it... the stain-detecting ones run on a different wavelength though some generic ones do happen to work... depending on what laundry detergent they use the whole sheet probably glows anyway!)

I assumed that making sure they are clean is just common sense. I have never had a "bug" problem HallowSusieBoo!

Just be wary of getting sheets from Motel 6. I'd recommend the swankier hotels, like Microtel and Holiday Inn Express!
