    Yes, I did and each of those items were in different departments. I found the gal who does the ordering and stocking. She took me to each area, got the item and put it in my hand. Great service.

    With postage it should still be a lot less than anywhere else.

    Me too! I found a telescoping magnet for picking up pins and needles. I also found the magnetic dishes really cheap.

Every time I go into a hardware store or an automotive store, I look at everything to see if I can re-purpose it for quilting. It's fun and when I do find something, I feel really smart!!!!
    How much are the telescoping magnets? Edie
    I got mine for $2.99!

    Am I the only one confused by this post? :shock:
    I was puzzled by this too. Maybe the poster just posted to the wrong thread?
    She was talking about the snap bags. They are really easy to make. The "snap" part is pieces of metal measuring tape sewn into a seam at the opening of the bag and it snaps shut. Remember the old snap bracelets from the 1980's? It behaves the same way.

    I think we might be going to a town with a HF on sunday. Are they open sundays? We need a part for our dryer and dh thinks the sears there will have it. Just need to talk dh into going to HF (he's probably the only man in the world who hates shopping SO much even Harbor Freight is a chore).

    OMGoodness!!!!! I have never heard of this store before. I went to their web site and did a search to see if there were any stores near me. I could hardly believe my eyes!!! There is one that is 7 miles from where I live!!! I'm going shopping!!! :lol: Personally, I love hardware stores and outdoor/hunting/fishing stores. I always find the greatest stuff there! :oops:
