| - Cost Plus is another one of those places that takes me back to my childhood. I remember spending the weekends with my favorite aunt, Lily. This would be one of 4 places we would usually stop at after her tennis matches. The other's being, Toys R' Us, Stan's Donuts, and OMG, I haven't thought about this place in years & I doubt anyone will know what the heck I am talking about. BEST department store! No, not the best, but BEST was actually the name. Kind of a predecessor to Target.
Anywho...We would stop here for international treats for me & coffee and/or tea for my aunt. And of course, we would always browse around & look at all the neat stuff they had, which was actually a lot cooler than the mainstream stuff they have now. It was & is definitely a lot better than Pier 1. Granted, some of the items can be a little costly, but you pay a premium for hard to get/unique items.
Of course, my favorites are the food & bev section, as well as the cookware. This is the only place I can find one of my favorite candy bars, Ritter Sport Chocolate & Cornflakes, made by Ze Germanz. Lol. I also like the Alpine Milk Chocolate as well. Also, I can never find the Haribo gummy rattlesnakes anywhere but here. And I love me some Haribo gummy bears & rattlesnakes! Also courtesy of Ze Germanz! Dafür sage ich danke Deutschen. I also like to get these Italian honey candies, but I haven't seen them in a while.
Well, that about does it. Thanks for the fond walk down memory lane Cost Plus.
