That's a good idea...haven't thought about Sams. Also Costco might be a good place to check.

Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

I too have seen Wal Mart's poor selection of Halloween stuffs. For halloween decor and costume I always go to Party City. They have the scariest decor there. Everywhere else is just kid friendly and bleh. Target sometimes has a good selection too though.

Costco is like Sams...sell in bulk and has lots of 'stuff'' Not affiliated with Sams or Walmart though.

I suppose Shopko and Kmart should be looked at as well.

I saw too that Sam's Club has a pretty good selection here.
Plus Walgreens has a lot!
The K Mart here has about the same as Wal-Mart.

I think a "good find" all depends on the type of Halloween nut you are. I personally wouldnt buy the majority of stuff in the "regular" stores Halloween shelves because they are pretty "cutesy", the regular stuff you toss up each year, then take down and stow away and not think of it again until next year. I like the scary stuff, or the stuff I can make look scary. I might not find a thing in WalMart but some one else might find a utopia of items......But lets be honest, the best stuff for Halloween can be found at the thrift stores!!!
