Cheap Shops, Cheap Tools, Getting Creative
Some people might think a cheap shop, a $2 shop, considered a cake decorating supplier, what!!!
But let me try to change your mind 
, places like Hot Dollar are just a crazy treasure trove of cake decorating materials. From cheap paper, plastic and ribbon to cover your boards, to boxes to organise your tools, to cake tins, cupcake wrappers and kitchen tools, to as big as your imagination can stretch!
See the thing is you can buy the most expensive tool there is, if it works for you that’s OK, you should keep using that tool. BUT what if you just don’t have the money, what if you are just starting out and want to try a few things before committing fully to the hobby, what if you are just someone who likes to see what they can do with stuff both cheap and expensive, what if, what if, what if! 
I adore cheap shops, their kitchen sections provide a treasure trove of cupcake liners and mini cutters, skewers, tins and so much more. Then there are the craft sections with scrapbooking materials and not to forget the tool section with their containers that make for great storage! You really are only limited by your imagination! And seriously you spend $2 and it doesn’t work out no big loss! But I do challenge you to only spending $2 when you walk into one of these places!
