That's something my local 99¢ store (not a chain) was useful for. I
could buy kitchen shears for $1 that were the same quality, maybe
better, than what I saw at regular stores for $20. I bought several
and use them for all sorts of things unrelated to cooking. Sadly,
that store hasn't been as interesting since the change in ownership -
so I haven't browsed in quite a while.
