grace'smom Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hey guys, I checked my local Target and Walmart and did not see globes out anywhere this week. I know I've seen them there before... Does anyone know what section they usually keep them in? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. If not, does anyone know a good place to buy a low cost globe? The ones on the internet all seem to be over 50 dollars and we were hoping not to spend too much. Thanks! Hailey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starwarsmomma Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 When the school supplies come out, Target and Walmart will sell them again. I saw them at my local stores recently. I paid $14.99 for mine at target a few years ago. Think the price is same or similar now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I just got one at Target, in the school supply section, for $14.99. This was no more than two weeks ago. Maybe they were out of stock... I would keep checking, as they will most likely get more. Also, you could try calling a different Target to see if they have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersmom Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I got a nice one at Costco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grace'smom Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 Thanks! I'll keep checking Target. Ours seems to only have the college stuff out right now so maybe they just don't have them in yet. 15.00 is a much better price than 50.00! Thanks again!

Donna A. Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 While I'd love to have a really nice, upscale globe on a floor stand from the Rand McNally store, I'm happy with the "nicer than Walmart version" one that I bought recently at Mardel. Regular price was 39.99, but I got it on sale for 31.99. I got the Antique Ocean Desk globe on the right at this link, but you can see that they have several to choose from: http://www.mardel.com/search/default.aspx?keywords=globe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhjmom Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I also saw them at Target in the special seasonalschool supply section. They have several different ones at Hobbly Lobby but seem to be priced a little higher than I saw elsewhere. They are a good deal if you use a 40% off coupon though!

JZMom Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I just purchased one at Target for $15 last week. They were in the school supplies section. They also had U.S. and world maps for $5 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 You can also try an office supply store like Staples. But you may want to check resale shops, too, just take a good look at Europe and Africa to check for modern boundaries & place names.

sarawatsonim Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I know it probably was a one shot deal with mine, but I found a brand new one in the local Value Village used store. It cost me $5.00 and was still boxed up. The original sticker was from Staples though. I have seen them in Walmart in the office supply/school supply area.

If you knew how limited my knowledge of geography is then you would be laughing as you made that statement. I'm planning on getting much of my education along with my daughter....:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey Mom Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 If you don't find them in the seasonal school supplies (at Target), check the office supply aisle. That's where I found them in our store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Check out the thrift stores. I usually see one or two when I go to the ones around here. But you'd better be sure it's not out of date. See if it's Myanmar or Burma. (Someone mentioned USSR vs Russia.) We got ours at Toys R Us for about $15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grace'smom Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 My husband went by and got one at Target on the way home from work. I don't know why I didn't see it when I was there last week, but he found it with no problems. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoxcell Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Check ROSS they usually have them here, and for pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
