I don't have any suggestions, but didn't know you were still here. I went to the Old Lincoln Way garage sale, that's a garage sale that stretches as far as it can on that highway, and one place I stopped at had buttons, buttons, buttons. Bags of them like gallon ziplock for 10 - 20 dollars. don't know if that is high. but i remembered you are always looking for buttons.
Then I found two appeared unused, kitchenaide mixer attachments that I use for cookies for $4 for both. Those are expensive.
But the best deal was when I felt like I won the penny candy lottery - 500 restaurant wrapped straws for 5.00. it was a good day.
