The Christmas Tree Shoppe Finds!!!

I found three great things today:
1. FLAT skewers for cookie pops (in the barbecue section). They won't spin in the cookies.
2. Large, smooth, rigid wooden cutting boards to use as cake boards. I plan to glue a smaller one under a larger one so that I can pick up the cake more easily. I only bake for family, so I don't need anything too big. The cutting boards were available in many sizes, and did not have grooves like some cutting boards.
3. Extra long dowels (also in the barbecue section), intended for marshmallow toasting. They can be used for doweling stacked cakes, and they were cheap!
Thanks for the tips, I always go there on Mondays, it's my day off! They must be an east coast chain. They sell mostly seasonal and household stuff that you didn't know you needed or wanted until you see it. Then you buy it, and realize you really don't need it or want it; and you don't have anyplace to put it. I like to go every few months, maybe every season. It's a step or two up from a dollar store.

I had to laugh at your description. That is so true. I go every so often and unless I'm specifically looking for something or misc. toys for the kids, there's not usually much I feel I need...but dontcha just love a bargain???
We don't have them in Ohio, either. 
Next time I'm in NY I'll have to check it out. It sounds pretty neat!
I bought one of those giant diamond rings, too! Didn't need it, but I got it anyway.
When I got home from the store today, I opened the cabinet to put away the birthday paper goods I bought, and I found four packages of the same stuff already in there. ($1 per package) So yes, bbmom, I guess I just love a bargain!
It is hit or miss but my christmas tree shop often has the wilton character pans for $3, or cookie cutters real cheap. I always go in for 1 item and come out with bags of stuff. I will have to check out the barbeque section. thanks for info
Christmas tree shop is an experience especially on a Saturday or sunday !!! great description "didn't know i needed it it until I saw it" how true!!
Last time I was there I got wilton parchment paper for $2.99 and they had wilton bows for (cake toppers) that looked like they were made out of fondant I've never seen those before....
