Thread: $1 tombstones and other dollar store goodies. : )

Tweet

I passed by the Dollar store the other day and they had their halloween stock out. I found tombstones for a buck! lol (you gotta love the dollar store)

They also had plenty of other halloween items... candle holders with holloween images/shadows in them (witch, pumpin, spider web, ect... I bought two of these for the front hall), plenty of fall leaves garland (to decorate the hand rails on the stairs), signs (spooky way, haunted house, ect), masks, swords, makeup, and plenty of other little items to finish off your costumes. Of course all these items are just...... $1. Oh, and lets not forget all the candy they have (it's amazing how much candy you can buy for only $20... two shopping bags full). The tot'ers are going to love me this year.

I was able to take one picture with my cell phone before the store manager caught me. lol

The gravestones in the picture are around 15"+ high. Not bad for a dollar.

you might want to try re-uploading your pic. it says it could be displayed because it contained errors. sounds like you made off with a killing! i remember last year the dollar tree had cool old horror movie posters. i bought a ton. i'll have to swing by sometime soon =)

I went by again yesterday. Almost half the halloween stuff is gone now. Seems like more and more people are finding out how useful the dolloar store can be. (I'm glad I went early). Btw, I picked up some more candy (imo you can never have enough), another couple of grave stones (just in case one or two get broken/stolen... knock on wood), a couple of fall leaf garlands, and a few packages of skeleton hands and skulls (for the "curtain" I'm making for the garage haunt). Total cost was $10 + tx. Woo hoo! lol

Hmm, seems like Imageshack is having a problem.

Let's try it this way...

What dollar store is this (Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Family Dollar, etc.)?

If it's Dollar Tree they have diffrent tombstones then most of them have. We keep getting the same ones. I found the tombstones to be cool invits.

looks like i need to make a trip to the dollar store

I would be interested to know what specific $ store you went to as well so please do share! Thanks!

WOW your store really stocks the shelves full!!!
For the people asking what dollar store....I believe those are from a Dollar Tree store.
Our Dollar General has stones this year that are smaller and painted black but they are made of the white beaded foam and it is nearly impossible to find one that doesn't have broken edges...they also cost 2 dollars.

they also cost 2 dollars.

You see that bothers me. It's called a dollar store for a reason... things in it are sold for a buck, not two, three or more. (see below for an example)

We have various named dollar stores up here in Ontario. (I have yet to see a Dollar Tree though)

Some of the ones we have in Southern Ontario (near Toronto) are...

Dollarama

Everything Under a Buck

Dollar Store

A Buck or Two (this store also sells stuff upto $20+, so I don't consider it a true dollar store)

There are a few others that escape my mind at the moment.

I've noticed that almost any "dollar type" store I visit will have a some hollween items in it. Some have alot, some have a few. It's fun to stop by one of them when you see one in a plaza. (you never know what you'll find).

I do know one thing though... if I see something unique I'll buy it right away, because it might not be there the next day. lol


Btw, my local Rona (Home Depot's biggest competitor in Ontario... until Lowes arrives that is), had started to put out their Hollween stuff this week. Here's a quick pic before I was told by a store employee to stop.

I'm used to ALL prices in a Dollar General store but expected them to at least have better prices on their halloween items.
I love watching people who enter a real dollar store for the first time...their eyes wide open and they keep asking "Is everything REALLY only a dollar"...LOL!

What do you tell the managers when you get caught taking pictures? I would think that posting them here would increase their business and they would appreciate it.
