It has been a delight serving you and wonderful getting to know so many of our customers.  While I, Marcia, your blog host, has only known the store and it’s “family” for a year and a half, I’ve met such nice people, it’s been a real treat.  I will miss you all and hope to run into you here or there.

We hear the same comments over and over about how much you’ll miss the store and how much you loved shopping here.  It’s rare to hear of a little ol store meaning so much to so many.  To answer some of the other questions, Carol and Vicki will go back to retirement.  Anna, Marcia and Trudi are all looking for jobs.  We unfortunately are not in a position to retire!  The owners, Darrell and Shar, will continue to run the Honk’s Dollar Stores and spend some time reading your wonderful comments in the memory book we gave to them last Sunday.  (There were tears).

If you hear of any jobs for the three of us looking let us hear from you, you contact me, Marcia and I’ll get the word to the Trudi and Anna.  My email is mkh1480@mac.com.  (Marcia is also looking for a pet friendly place to live with really low rent, or I’m a great house sitter.  I have a wonderful but very shy dog and now just 3 cats…one of my kitties had to cross the rainbow bridge earlier today).

Thank you all for reading the blog, shopping the store, and being some of the best customers on earth!  Happy 2010, let’s hope it’s the start of a prosperous decade for us all!

Don’t think there is much else I have to say about that! And of course, 50% off everything else in the store.

The boxes are full of all kinds of fun surprises…people have pulled out great throw rugs, some beautiful pillows, I snagged a CARS pillow for my car crazy little great nephew and a Cinderella sippy cup with sparkles in the bottom for his baby sister, there are toys, gifts for her, gifts for him, all kinds of stuff! DO NOT DELAY. We’ve had people loading up basket after basket of these great bargains.

PLUS, our wonderful owner brought down some other great things including a beautiful set of carving/kitchen knives for just ten dollars, and I also saw as I whizzed by some nice looking caps for $4.

If you want to get some warm mittens, hats, gloves etc to put in the charity boxes (or for yourself) we have a couple of huge boxes of various styles. These are great quality and range in price from $3 to $6 with the 50% savings!

We’re open till 6 tonight and open Saturday 9-3! You snooze you lose on this one folks. The walls are getting empty but these mystery boxes are full to the brim (and they are big boxes).

SEE YOU SOON!!!!!!!!!

Just add a To/From tag!

Just arrived Wednesday, a nice stock of Holiday themed boxes, perfect for wrapping a gift, without bothering with wrapping paper!

These are great!  Plus, they become almost a gift in themselves, as they can be used over and over, or you can store holiday items in them.

The Christmas themed hat boxes are great as are my favorites, the little Christmas “suitcases”.  All the boxes are made of sturdy cardboard with beautiful graphics.  Add a bow or a to/from sticker (we received a small assortment of those too) and you are DONE!

The prices are super reasonable as well.  For instance the tower o boxes to the left did retail for over $60 for the whole set.  Now, if you want all ten boxes you’ll pay half!  You can purchase them as singles or buy the whole set.  With 50% off it’s a steal!  The biggest box retailed for $11, so that’s #$6.50 now.  Supplies are limited, so don’t delay!

We have several styles and price ranges available.  We’re open nine am till six pm, and Saturday 9-3.

The Mystery Pallets

Yea Warehouse!!!!!!  The pallets arrived! However, we have been super busy today, so we will have at least one of the pallets ready to shop Thursday afternoon after 2 PM. We are open till 6, so you’ll have some time to check out the goodies.  I snapped a couple of pictures and opened one box before I had to scoot home as my morning dizzy spell is not gone.

As I expected, there is a compelling mix of decor and household items and for $5.00/item, you are sure to find a treasure or two.  No further discounts will be made on the items, they are FIVE BUCKS each.  In the box I opened up there was a mix of fun things like a throw rug, some cute chicken themed curtains, a Marilyn Monroe insulated water bottle, even some Barbie Doll furniture.  These are always fun to explore as you never know what you’ll find.  Can’t wait to get back to work myself to dig through the stuff!

The first wave of items will be ready to shop by 2 PM THURSDAY December 10!  All items will be FIVE DOLLARS!  No further discount, all sales final.  Bring a friend and a fistful of Lincolns….you are in for a shopping bonanza!

Just one of the boxes opened, dozens more to go!

And….we also received today, some very nice Corning Ware small souffle like dishes in black and red (rather Asian looking actually). Regularly $20 for a set of 4, now with 50% off, just ten bucks! They are microwave, oven, freezer, and dishwasher safe.
We also received some beautiful Christmas gift box collections….big boxes, small boxes, perfect for gifts AND you won’t even have to wrap them! These range, with the $50% off from $8 down to 75 cents.

The FIVE DOLLAR Pallets should for sure, be ready by tomorrow. But stay posted and if they come before five I’ll post it.
