I am running out of storage space for my DVDs. This should come as no surprise to anyone.
My storage consists of four of
these shelves, which are affordable and look great. I used to find them at Suncoast, but with their bankruptcy and sale to the owners of FYE, they have stopped carrying them. (Big Lots has them, but in a different finish, and I'm picky enough to want them all to look the same.)
So I go to Sauder's website looking for retailers in this area, and come up with none. Ditto for the Dallas and San Antonio areas. Then the thought hit me -- why not look for them while I'm on vacation?
Sure enough, Sauder showed there are plenty of retailers selling them in the Midwest.
Attempt #1 was at
Blain's Farm and Fleet in Urbana, IL. I went there expecting something like
Western Auto. I got it -- that place is like Western Auto on steroids. Too bad they didn't have the shelves in stock -- their price was $10 less than I found elsewhere.
Attempt #2 was at
Pamida in Rockville, IN. No luck there.
Attempt #3 was at
Menards in Mishiwaka, IN. I wish Menards had stores closer to here. They are a really nice home center/hardware store/lumberyard, bigger than my local Home Despot or Lowes. And they had my shelves! I win at shopping!
So I now have two new DVD storage shelves ready to fill. I'm keeping my wallet under close supervision now.
(Speaking of shopping, I caught a nice misprice at Fry's. They had
The Invasion, a classic Pat Troughton
Doctor Who serial, mismarked at $9.99 (should have been $29.99).
