RE: Great Website for Bargain Hunters

 The name of the store is Collections, Etc. I ve gotten their catalog for a couple of years and discovered their website not too long ago. The neat thing about Collections, Etc., is that everything in the catalog or on the web site is $14.99--except the stuff that s on sale!
 
 I ve ordered from them a couple of times, and always been pleased with the products. One of the first things I ordered was a leather backpack. It has an extendable handle and wheels, so it can be rolled as well as carried. I was a little sceptical when I ordered it. I mean, how good can a $15 leather backpack be? I was very pleased to find that it was very good quality, and had a ton of compartments and handy features. Since purchasing it from Collections, Etc., I ve seen the same backpack in other catalogs " on sale"  for $30 or more!!
 
 I also ordered a" Women s Toolkit"  (everything has pink handles). Hey, they re not Sears Craftsman tools, but for what I need around the house, they work fine!
 
 Have fun shopping!

labontefan,
 
 thx for posting this site.  I have ordered several items.  I am always collecting items for silent auctions that we have for my daughter s ballet company. Looks like a good site.

For anyone living in the Chicago area, the outlet store for Collections is right here in Des Plaines, IL.   The prices are incredible here, eveything is priced at $5 or $8. It s only open a few hours on Saturdays and Sundays.

Here is an update.  I ordered four items from www.collectionsetc.com to check on the quality of the items for future fundraisers.  I was pleased with the overall quality of the items (I think you still have to be selective in anything you purchase site unseen), and I was really pleased with the service. I received the items quickly via the US Postal Service and all items were well packed.
