coffee filters instead of excelsior

[J Teezy]

By the way where are you buying your excelsior? I'm thinking craft stores may have it?

Josh,
I get my excelsior from craft stores. In the summer however, I get it from Home Depot, its a seasonal item for them but a lot cheaper then the craft stores.

What brand and product name does it go by at Home Depot?
What section of the store is it usually found in?
Thanks.

Its usually spring to summer item. It is usually located in the home and garden area. They sale it in small bails, its like $10 - $15 but it will last you a long time.

Thanks alot.

Wish I could remember what brand it was and the exact price but the last bail lasted me so long that I do not recall the specifics. It finally ran out, it lasted a year and a half.

I buy excelsior at Michaels(a chain craft store) for $3.99 a bag. They also send out weekly coupons in the Sunday
paper. There's a Hobby Lobby in the next town over from me and I think they sell the same size bag for a dollar less.

I have done 4 or 5 now w/ filters. I think the excelsior works MUCH better!

The only thing I have found wrong when using coffee filters is sometimes as they get wet they can slump to the bottom of the container reducing the surface area.
I bought some excelsior from Michael's, but, it was $5.50 for a small bag.
I just found myself a source for excelsior and bought 5 lbs of it which should last me a year or 2.
