I have been stalking the aisles of my local TK Maxx for ages and they've not have ANY scrapbooking stuff in. I used to be able to find 12x12 paper pads at least. Sometimes even Thickers! Has yours had any scrappy stuff in lately?

I don't have a TK Maxx anywhere near but I do visit Homesense occasionally and they would have some AC bits and bobs but not for the past couple of years I don't think? I used to randomly get some awesome bits and pieces there  Actually, it's an awesome store I could pretty much have one of every single thing in there but the scrapbook bit used to be good! |

I was thinking this just the other day. Not seen any scrapbooking stuff for at least a couple of years. Hardly anything even vaguely crafty thinking about it. Shame.

I think they’ve given up on stocking SB stuff. I have so many 6x6 pads that came from TKMaxx, and quite a few 12x12 too. I still check (forlornly!) whenever I go, but I don’t expect to find anything anymore.  |

When I first started scrapbooking I used to run up to tk maxx on my lunch break, I have found some amazing scrapbooking stuff there. I’ve found Maggie Holmes paper packs for pennies in the past, and roller stamps for £1.99!
In the last year, I don’t even bother checking anymore. I think they really have given up on stocking scrapbooking supplies.

I suppose maybe it has been a year...I was on a proper shopping ban for while so I didn't even look. We don't have any other discount-type stores here |

We have very small Works, and we do have a Range, I've just remembered. Although it's in a different town so I'd have to drive. I do go to the mainland sometimes but it's a bit of an expedition...I liked being able to pop into TK Maxx on my lunchbreak! Also I'm coming to the end of some of the 12x12 pads that I got from there and I could do with some more  |

The Range has a massive craft section and sometimes The Works has some good little bits online, which you can order for pick up in store. |

No worries peachiceteas you can't keep track of where everyone lives! 😉 I had genuinely forgotten we had a Range...ours doesn't seem very good, but perhaps I need to give it another try. And I didn't know the Works was online so I will check that out too, thanks for the tip. |

They sometimes have some reasonably priced bits and pieces in Wilkinsons/Wilko too. Depending on what you intend to do with it, it's either a bit naff or perfectly ok...if you get my drift!  |
