Hi again. It’s me. Off my soap box to bring you one of my all time favorite Dollar Spot finds: galvanized buckets. (For just one dollar!)
Do I love it? Check! (I’ve got a weird thing for buckets.) Do I need it? Uh …let me get back to you on that one… Will I use it? I can’t think of a use for it right now…and I can’t decide if I NEED it…and so I walk away. (The first time anyway.) And that darn little bucket kept stalking me. I got home and instantly thought of at least three different things I could use my bucket for…and geez, what was I thinking not stocking up on these for my clients? They’re only a dollar, well made, useful and oh-my-gosh Target’s probably selling out of them right now because they always sell out of galvanized goodies quickly…and so back to Target I go. 13 buckets land happily in my cart…3 for me and 10 go in the stash for my clients. So far these little lovelies have been used to corral:
- Sunscreen and bug spray on my laundry room shelf.
- Little bitty stuffed animals in a client’s play room (so cute!)
- An assortment of small children’s books (in same play room)
- Bath essentials like bubble bath, mesh sponges, and rolled wash cloths.
You could also use these little cuties to store stamps, paint brushes, punches, chipboard, and so on in your scrap space. And at a buck a bucket, it’s a true bargain! Happy shopping…just remember the three magic questions 😉
Seriously, what a great Target. I wouldn’t be able to resist either. Right now we are Spider man junk, summer stuff (silverware, plates, pop molds) and camping stuff. I want your Target dollar spot.
glad i found your site. it is SO good to know that someone else is in love with these buckets!
I found these little treasures too and snatched two up…one is on a shelf in our garage corraling my son’s bubbles and chalk. The other will probably be used for scrapbook supplies. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas!
I put the last four buckets Target had back on the shelf from my cart!!! lol I wanted them but couldn’t think of anything to use them for!! oh boy! maybe when I go back there be a couple!
glad i came upon your site…i love the “organizing thing”…makes me giddy !
oh, i’m on my way to target for some of those goodies !
I have been waiting for some plain ones there. The last couple they have had were punched. I am going to head over today and see if they have these and my Target.
These would make great container for holiday gifts. Bath stuff, cookies, anything really.
I love that idea of using the buckets for storage. I definitely need something like that when I tackle my laundry room.
Oh darn! I just returned home from Target, sat down to eat my lunch and read your post. I should have checked the Dollar Spot. I can think of at least 10 uses for those adorable little buckets. Sigh…guess I need to make another trip.
I hate it when you blog about this stuff and then I can’t find it at my Target. If they aren’t there tomorrow you are in big trouble!
Guess what I just learned? Not all Dollar Spots have the same stuff. Who knew? Lisa has Spider Man junk and camping gear. Anyway … hope you all find the buckets and if not, I’m sorry. Didn’t mean to torment anyone. 😉
They had them at mine! I was so happy. I bought ten of them. I probably would have bought more but, husband was with me. 8)
I love buckets too….guess who will be going to Tarjay tomorrow? I hope my target has them…I’d be so sad if they don’t…
Love Them I bought a dozen and still want more! They are the perfect size to wrap up a neighbor gift of goodies in and it doubles as something useful too!
