Where to buy tiki torches?

[waazel]

I'm looking for some tiki torches for a prty that we're having, but am having horrible luck finding them. Any ideas? I have been to Target and Home Depot to no avail. Also looked online at WalMart, KMart and Hilo Hattie (the store of Hawaii). I see these things all the time, where does everyone get them?

Buying online is not much of an option because I can't wait for shipping.

Thanks.

big lots if you're cheap.

garden ridge will probably be your best bet. cheap & plentiful. but you'll be able to find 'em most anywhere...world market, home depot, most any place w/ a garden center. shouldn't cost you more than a couple bucks apiece (unless you do something stupid & buy 'em at pottery barn or storehouse furniture where they'll give you the fashionable yuppie price which features a 1000% markup).

Bed, Bath & Beyond usually carries them. Target usually carries them but if you can' t find them there, maybe they're out.

You can get them for about $3 each at Home Depot, not counting what the fuel costs.

You can get them at some Dollar Stores

Thanks - I got them at the "other" Home Depot. I don't know why the first one I went to didn't have them (or the dude I asked just said 'no' without knowing). $4 each plus $5-6 for fuel. Thanks for the suggestions.

Party City always has some.

Garden Ridge usually has them for about 2 bucks, 1.50 if you catch them on sale.

Anyone have any expirience with the metal ones? I've been thinking about buying some b/c they look nicer, but I don't want to spend $$ unless they're going to last w/out rusting and all.
