As many of you know the 99 CENT ONLY STORES located in the west/southwest (CA, TX, AZ and NV) have carried some inexpensive items great for halloween project use and come halloween time they have had some very desirable halloween specific items (see past yearly threads). While similar to DOLLAR TREE, they are a different merchandise chain and not related.
BTW I believe they have plans to expand this year. Important to note is that as of last year some of the prices on items have increased beyond .99. The majority are still .99. If you post item photos, please try to list a price if not .99. Thanks.
Here's a few photos from my stop in there yesterday.
Grabbed their package of 4 bamboo stakes (1.99 each) for use in my jungle haunt theme. They are 6.5 feet which is taller than most I've seen at the "dollar type" stores. Plan to use to create a bamboo arched gateway. Also note in the photo that they are carrying the spiked black lawn edging handy for fence toppers.
These 12-inch high plastic LED lit letters (2.99 each) have carnival potential. Wish I would have gotten to the store earlier for a better selection but here's what my store had.
The decorative vacuformed framed mirrors are back again this year. The black framed ones go fast. Nice light weight not requiring much for support. And without the mirror in it, no worries about it falling and someone getting hurt. Members have used as gothic mirrors or have replaced the mirror with "family" portraits of vampires, zombies, etc.
