Went to the dollar store to get clothes line pins, ended up getting some much needed darkroom supplies.



What are your great dollar store discoveries?

There's a Dollar Tree three blocks from my house. Everything's three blocks from my house.

I too have purchased measuring cups and funnels for photography there. I also buy Whales! I love that store, great finds.

When I'm not in thrift shops looking for olde cameras, I'm checking out dollar stores. I am having trouble finding just the right size plastic tub for 8x10 prints but I keep looking. I did find a Rodagon 50mm f2.8 enlarging lens -- brand new -- in a bargain bin in the only real camera store still left within 100 miles. Bargains are where you find them.

Kitty litter boxes should hold 8x10s. There's always a million of them at my dollar store, stacked to the ceiling

I have to remember dollar stores to buy some supplies.

I love strolling thru dollar stores but always leave with crap I really do not need. At least it's cheaper than when I do that at a camera swap meet.

Advice: avoid food items at dollar stores. Bought some boxes of pasta at one once. As I dumped it into the boiling water all the dead hollow carcasses of insect larvae and eggs floated to the top. Ugh. Never again.

Yes, I love the dollar store. I get colored measuring cups there. Check the accuracy of the measurement markings, though. Three of mine are accurate (enough), but the fourth one reads about 20ml over for each marking.
