Re: 2009 SPRING/SUMMER SHOPPING REPORT
Check your local drug stores for plastic pic nic dishes. I was in our Rite Aid recently and found an end cap with summer pic nic dishes in the price range of $1-$5. Has a beach theme with sailboat and ocean on them. Pretty. they also have large salad bowls and chip and dip dishes and serving trays. In some stores they even have kitchen towels.
I'll check out Walgreens soon.

Re: 2009 SPRING/SUMMER SHOPPING REPORT
Hey one of my employees just told me she saw in Target dollar bins wicker baskets with cloth lining. On the outside of the lining is an embroidered sailboat. Price $2.50 I think I'm going to pick up a couple to use for bread baskets.

Re: 2009 SPRING/SUMMER SHOPPING REPORT
you apparantly missed the plastic tropical themed wine glasses. maybe they were out at the time of your visit. also big lots has a lot of tropical themed /jimmy related parrothead items. and walgreens does indeed have a lot of stuff that rite aid usually doen't have. and while your in your local grocery store, check the knick knacks that are usually eye level. i have seen magnets disguised as aloha shirts and flip flops. good hunting to you all.KruzinParrots wrote:Check your local drug stores for plastic pic nic dishes.

Re: 2009 SPRING/SUMMER SHOPPING REPORT
I got my 2 beach towels today at Target with my gift card...and I still have over $82 bucks to spend since it was a $100 card!

I had the pink flip flop one that came out a few years ago, but it got caught on something and got a big hole in it.

Your right the tropical wine glasses were not out at that location when I was there. I check for them the next time I'm in.
Good advice about looking for items at eye at the grocery store. Which grocery chains are in your area. Do they have the Jell-O out yet?

Good shopping!! I love their beach towels. The flip flop one is my favorite.

Re: 2009 SPRING/SUMMER SHOPPING REPORT
Stopped at Yankee candle tonight on the way home from work. Was looking for a gift and to my surprise found a nice display of beach/tropical/nauticle themed candles, fragrance sprays and votive holders. All very nice quality. I bought a new beach bag to take with me when I take my cruise to Bermuda this year.

That is a 3D flamingo at the bottom and there are flamingos all over it. The pic just shows it folded. I'm sure it's the same towel, it's the only flamingo one Target has.Conolulu wrote:those towels look VERY familiar!!!![]()
