pumpkin456 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I wanted to post this question here because anytime I need any advice I can find it here. Any how, I am looking for Cheap (under 2$) for tea cups for a wedding shower. I cannot find anything. We are using them for favors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmol66 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Check Target and see if your store still has the party packs on sale, they have been 75% for about a week or two depending where you are, there is a pic on page 9 of the Target thread.

shopping mom Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 If they do not have to match have you tried thrift stores? I hope you find what you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmm2702 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) Do you have any party stores by where you live? Edited April 15, 2008 by dmm2702 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pumpkin456 Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Try the dollar tree. they always have cups, mugs, and tea cups for $1.Believe it or not they have NO teacups. I have always seen them at that store and now nothing... Can you believe it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trbarginhunter Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 You could try lots and lots of garage sales. I think thrift shops would be faster. Good Luck, it's a cute idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy02 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 My friend just gave these out for her little girl's birthday party favors! She found a whole tea kit at Ross (TJMaxx might have the same thing). She just split up the cups and saucers. I think she paid about $10 for the entire kit, and each girl (about 12) got a cup and saucer. They were beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancergirlmom Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 What about a restaurant supply store? We have one around here that I believe is open to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalam Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Do you have an Old Time Pottery nearby? They always have cheap dishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbha Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I have on occasion seen teacups on clearance at Pier 1 outlet or World Market. Old Time Pottery is the best place to try first. Have you tried Dollar General or Family Dollar??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mesarobins Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Try posting on Craigslist under items wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoniePJ Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Not certain how much time you have, but if you had time for shipping, I did a quick search through ebay stores and found a few sets that meet your pricing. Try ebay search for buy it now items: "Azberg germany blue & white set of 6 tea cups" - they are $5.99 w/ $6 ship - $2 per set. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110239195823&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:Watchlink:middle:us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumpkin456 Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 To everyone, I decided to go with thishttp://www.lnt.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2665280&cp&dropValue=32&sr=1&origkw=libbey&kw=libbey&parentPage=search We are going to put biscotti in the cups for favors.

sposhek Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 You could add a tea bag or some instant coffee and a small bottle of irish creme...yummy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoniePJ Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I also love the chocolate dipped spoons. You could do those yourself. Use silver or gold colored plastic spoons, dip the bottom in chocolate, cover with a heavy plastic (you could find the pre-made covers for suckers) & tie with a nice ribbon. LNT has also had these in store from time to time. BTW I like the ones you picked out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
