We stop by Pier 1 about once a year, wander around and then leave not having purchased anything. Same old stuff that we don’t need or really like. Lots of stuff from India and that part of the world.
BUT we actually do find things to buy at Cost Plus. Usually, I find some interesting food item to take home and try. Problem is, if I like it, I can never find it again. Oh, well.
I wonder if Cost Plus/World Market has put a dent in Pier 1? My wife and I used to go to Cost Plus/World Market about every week until the one nearest us closed down. They are opening one even nearer to us this year which we plan to visit often. They are a great source for stocking stuffers during the Holidays.
