the dollar store is the cheapos dream

man i luve the dollar tree, got some things that look like the bolws that tortilla come out in if you order a quesadia at a mexican restarant. but cheaper made, great hides, some small capsules, for my super worm larva. other bowls for my larger snakes. and some odds and ends for mysrlf, got any other dollar store peeps out threre

Oh you bet I shop there! They have AWESOME plastic bowls that I can make into an adult Ball python hide, they are PERFECT. I love buying dog dishes from there because they are so cheap and work perfectly. I ♥ Dollar Tree.

oh yea, forgot dishes, i bought 4 of them as well

the dollar general around here sell rubbermaid tubs good for incubating eggs and hatchling bps and small snakes LOVE it 5 for 5 dollars

I would never tell the folks around the way, but I just spent $40 at the $ store tonight and loved ever minute, worth my 5 bags full that only put me back 40 singles.

I'm an undercover lover...of the dollar store;)

Don't overlook your local Ikea store where they sell 2 sizes of pet water bowls that serve as combo water bowl/hides without any alteration for only a dollar or so.

I stopped by my local dollar store today and they didn't have any ceramic bowls, which is what I went there for. Arg.
Anyways, I usually love them, just not when they don't have what I came there for.

yeah +1 i just bought 50 water bowls small med large they were puppy and kitten bowls............pink and black ones i think im going to go back and buy them all lol so all my bowls match! also great place for tupperware and stuff!

yea, my dollar store has the water/hide ones, ?? wont the bp, spill water, saw some tonight but didn't buy any, also Muffin's its ok i spend 30, but i bought other stuff beside herp stuff, also they just opened a store called oliies, if anyone has that near them, and the have a ton of stuff, that could be herp related

I just use jumbo cat litter boxes for my monitors that I buy from there. It is pretty hard to find anything natural looking for them, that won't cost an arm and a leg any how.

I'm a die hard thrift store supporter...

The dolar store is my reptile shop of choice. Bowls for the snakes and plants for the cresties!

Our dollar store here sucks. There's one other one I haven't been to yet, but the biggest one is a disappointment!

My mom lives down the road from my favorite dollar store, but that's two hours away... I miss that store!

are the bowls you're referring to a burgundy color? if so i also purchased some and made them into hides..my BP is a 3yr old female and she fits perfect. shes roughly 4ft.

in this image i turned one of the tortilla dishes into a water hide. and i zip tied the lid to the container so she doesn't knock it out of place and she just goes in and soaks whenever she needs to.

this was before zip tying the lid to the container. but as you can see she just soaks in there with some privacy.

personally i'd have to say these are the best hides ever, beats spending $7 a hide. now only if they would start to carry acurites and 41qt sterilites :D

SGB, those are the ones, the are perfect in every way, lmao, when that day that comes, i will officaly be free of the walmart complex, lol

We go to Target and get cereal bowls 3 for 1.49 (less than .50 a piece):gj:

Big Gunns actually made his way into a dollar store the other day. Of course he needed to wear a disguise. There's no way BG can be seen stepping into a dollar store.:D

Big Gunns was looking for a certain size shoebox that Wal/Mart(more disguises) Home Depot..etc didn't have. He noticed that they(dollar store) had the same ones.....and they were more money. Don't think just because it's a dollar store that it's gonna be cheaper.

BG has had friends that have told him of great deals they've found though, but stop at WalMart first just to make sure.:gj:
