Hallmark stores have some really good merchandise some years.
William-Sonoma - I missed out on getting a bat spatula there last year... grrrrr.
Old Navy - Last year they had awesome glow in the dark skeleton aprons.
Ross - I found some nicely made enamel picture frames last year.
Marshall's - Last year they had nice cloth table cloths, not the plastic and felt that you usually see.
Partycity.com
I haven't found anything yet, but I have all my local shops mapped out and I'm getting ready to pounce!

Great suggestions! Thanks!

This is a large thread so I just want to reiterate that I saw some awesome stuff at a store here called Home Goods. They had some really neat silver candlesticks, witches and mummies and whatnot. They also had a LARGE ghoul thing that could totally be hung from someone's chimney or something. It was awesome.

It's over a foot tall at least, long glass sides, again, for candles only, but a great potential prop. I wish I could find a picture online.

Lowes also has adhesive for buy-one-get-one-free -- a construction adhesive and and all-purpose white (for caulking guns). Construction adhesive was $2.50 (or so) and the All-purpose was $3.25 (or so).

Here you are:
http://www.spirithalloween.com/StoreLocation.aspx

It's not on the site for some odd reason, you have to do a google search and click underneath the first hit. xD

Damn, im ready to cry. Year before last we had 2 spirit stores. Last year we didnt get one, but they said there would be one this year. I was so looking forward to taking the hearse shopping. But no, looks like we are screwed again.

YES...we're getting two! I love to go browse through there. It's too expensive to buy a ton of stuff, but it's REALLY neat to go look. Gives you good ideas for costumes.

We don't buy much there either, but go every year for the fun of it. We did get our vampire costumes there a couple of years back.

The Oriental Trading Company mailed out their Halloween edition; just got it yesterday. Plus, Spirit Halloween just sent me a 10% off coupon via email.
