Transformers Party Shopping, Round One

I am totally bombing on the cheapness aspect of DH's Transformers birthday party. I started my journey off at Dollar Tree. While I knew I wasn't going to be able to get everything there, I figured I could score one or two items at least towards the party there.

Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero. If he had wanted to do Spiderman? It would have been super cheap. They had TONS of Spiderman. Lots of Cars, Dora, Spongebob, everything but Transformers. Sigh! I did however find this package of adorable little Princess wands:


No, not for DH's party. LOL!!

So I headed over to WalMart and just got super frustrated. I found a pinata. Yippee. One gift bag, that looked like it had been a return - it was that beat up. I gave up at that point. There might be some wonderful WalMarts out there, but this one needs help, pronto. (The bright side is it gives me an excuse to visit the Bremerton location, which also means Value Village shopping! lol)

The other day when the car broke down and we were wasting some time, I discovered a little store called The Cake Walk (1700 Se Mile Hill Dr # 149, over by the Goodwill in Port Orchard for my local peeps). I was like a kid in a candy store! Look at some of the fun things that I found:


Yes, I found some Transformers, and though it wasn't what I wanted, I grabbed them anyways:


Look at the cookie cutter and cupcake liners!



I know I have some cake people who visit here, and I have a question: When did all the toppers turn into rings instead of picks?? (what, were kids poking themselves too much?) The rings only end up messing up the frosting as far as I am concerned - I thought for sure in a real cake place I could find pick designs. (Yes, I am sulking)

So, anyways, I am going to have to find a sneaky way to end up at some of the big party supply stores without DH, because where's the fun in that if he sees all the goodies before the party? ;)
