If you have an appointment shortly after you enter the store, fair warning - set your alarm! Be prepared for time to just fly by as you come across so many kinds of nice home decorating odds and ends. This store is huge! I remember purchasing NEW dishes there. That's right. You can find new - never before used merchandise at this store. Look up front near the jewelry case and registers to find items such as plates, cups, candles and even candy. Prices are reasonable from $1 on up. From kitchen curtains to draperies for the dining room can be found there with prices ranging from $5 - $15 normally.

If you do not mind a mad-rush, try to shop on the last Wednesday of the month, which is the infamous "Half-Price Sale". Selected items are discounted and the place is packed! The atmosphere on that day resembles a Christmas frenzy, so it is not for faint hearted shoppers.
