Lakeshore

[countrymom]

ok, so the first time I went in one was the one in florida last year when I went on vacation. LOVE THE STORE!!!!

now there is one in michigan about an hour from me, I need to go because I need construction paper and paint and other stuff. I want to buy the big teeth with the tooth brush because the littles would get such a big kick.

now if you think their prices are expensive you should try shopping in canada, they are outrages. Im lucky that I live so close to michigan that I go over almost every weekend.

I love that store too but it seems like it's so pricy. Do any of you think it's expensive? Or maybe it's just that I love so much stuff in there that I always spend so much!

Yes, it is pricey. I would never stock my daycare with their items, but it is fun to get some fun things occasionally. They are very well made.

I have a hobby lobby near by and their arts/crafts stuff is way cheaper especially if you have a coupon.

I do. The prices are down right ridiculous!

I earmark the items I want and have DH build them.

The only thing my DH says about them is that they definitely hit a gold mine in finding daycares and schools willing to pay their prices.

He said the actual cost of the materials and time for one of their book shelves is LESS than half of what they sell it for.

This is me, too. I am building a new locker/cubby set for the daycare right now. It's going to be a lakeshore product look a like (at a 1/5 of the cost)

Never bought anything there. Too expensive.

This is my DH. He is making balance bikes, bench with cubbies and a book case for me. I do love looking at Lakeshore though!

I can not wait to go to it. everytime we go to KC I head to US TOYS / Constructive playthings to see what is on sale. Though it will be a much further drive to Lakeshore. The kids live in Raytown. Now when IKEA opens we are in REAL trouble We had better bring a truck and trailer so I can go to all three places.

The best part is that IKEA is going in right across from Lakeshore and Home Depot! I can spend my entire bank account in less than 2 blocks!

They said IKEA will be open this fall. I heard a rumor that it's in September. It's less than 2 miles from my house, so I have to drive by it all the time, and they are making incredible progress! The huge parking garage went up in like three days, and now the building is almost totally up. Come on September!!
