I second Michaels or the dollar store. The dollar store near me sells circular needles for $3 less than Zellers, but unfortunately they didn't 't have the size I needed so I ended up getting the one at Zellers. A friend did mention Michaels but it was too late by then. But I will try to pick up some yarn from them next time I'm there. Don't know what the prices are at Michaels but they often have coupons.

I`m fortunate enough to live near Listowel...home of Spinrite Yarns. They have a few good sales every year, but the best is their annual Tent Sale. August 15- August 27 . They have a lot of good deals on yarn and craft supplies. I`m addicted to buying yarn...have 1 room in my house completely full of yarn and crochet cotton.

for $4 I got 5 pairs of needles!
they have crochet hooks too!
they're pretty decent quality. I got most of my yarn on kijiji....I've found it never hurts to ask :)
