I want to buy a basic set of dominoes...

[capri0mni]

A basic "Double Six" set. There are a plethera of such sets online for just a couple bucks each. But I really don't want to spend $2 on a product, and $5 on shipping, ya know?

So I was hoping that I could pick a set up at the grocery store, and I could just add it to my regular purchases, but no such luck (hey, it's not as wierd as it may sound -- they sell crossword books and the like, and I've seen a "Games" aisle somewhere -- though that may have been the Food Lion, instead of Farm Fresh).

So-- where do they sell dominoes? I know they're still being made and sold, but where can you find them?

Hmmm....

Maybe a Wal-Marty type store, or Ben Franklin's.

You could try a dedicated game store, although dominoes wouldn't be an automatic selection at the kind of place that sells Magic cards and such.

*nods* We don't have Ben Franklin's here (to Yankee-ish, I think). But Walmart, yeah... Of course, I'd need a reason to go to that kind of store for something else at the same time -- just in terms of travel and all. But maybe a hobby shop (though I don't want a bucket of 500 to set up domino tricks with).

I think there's an "Everything for a dollar" store in the Mall. Audrey wants to go see "Handcock," one of these days. Maybe I'll check one of the hobby shops or game shops there, when/if we go.

I think a good basic set of dominoes is a worthy way to spend the $5 I got for doing the Art Garden (not enough to drive to the bank, to deposit...).

Is there a Walgreens or a Rite-Aid out where you are? Or a K-Mart or Target?

Toy stores have them.
