Found bags of shells at the dollarstore!

Post by Guest » Mon Jul 03, 2006 7:01 pm

I didn't think I would find any shells at the dollarstore, but I go to check it out, and voila! I found bags of sea shells at $1 each. I bought 2 bags - a bag of smaller shells (1/2" - 1" openings) and medium-sized shells (3/4" -1 1/2") - and there's got to be atleast 30 shells in each bag.

They're all the same... a bit plain and kind of beige-ish color. They are nice though. I sorted through them and threw out the bad ones (any ones that were badly chipped or had holes in them).

The ONLY problem I see is that I might not be able to tell my crabs apart (I'm only getting PPs at the moment). Luckily, I did also order 3 medium sized Crabworx shells (I hope they're nice). Hopefully I'll be able to distinguish between my hermies!

I found some shells at the dolar store today too. I was like, yes! Score! Picked up a bag of nerites and a bag of turbos for only a buck each.

No way! Nerites and turbos? :shock:

lol there's a really huge dollarstore not too far away from me... I think I'll try to find some more shells there. Maybe I'll have more luck finding some nicer ones!

I got them in a Dollarama, I don't know how widespread that chain is, but if there's one in your city, I'd definately check it out.
