I popped into the local thrift store to take a peak at their vessels (I am making my first bonsai tree). So while there I noticed they had a huge christmas section. So while perusing I saw they had brand new rolls of wrapping paper for a dollar! When I say new, I mean still in its manufacturer's cellophane wrap and price stickers. What a shocker, I figured on seeing most of the other christmas deco, but paper! As it turns out most thrift stores that are non-profit types get donations from department stores, and sells them at thrift store prices.
Now these are pretty darn good, some were small but others were pretty huge like 60 sqft. most marked 7.99 and up! They did have some that were also partially used but still not bad if you are looking for a deal.
My store was Rescued Treasures, which has pretty good prices and great looking stuff, perfect for budget-minded, artist looking for sculpture materials, or people who like to wonder treasure hunt. And they are a store for a cause, The Rescue Mission.
So don't forget to check those unlikely places for wrapping paper!
