Sharps Surplus — Local services in Michigan City

I love the huge amount of craft supplies they have and the prices are amazing.

I'm very glad this section has expanded so much over the years. It is a nice place to get in and out quick when your in need to buy some cheap stamps, markers, glues, scrapbook paper pads, scrapbook albums, photo albums, lots of stuff for planning weddings, etc. I come for my crafty friends because I can buy them a bag sometimes 2 or more for around 20-25 dollars and I would have Christmas, birthdays, etc done for the year.

We have been shopping here since they first opened.. I'd give them 5 stars but they have items that have expiration dates many sections have expired items that are well passed the expiration date.

My husband loves their tools, fishing, auto stuff.

I also visit their dog treat aisle I do watch expiration dates and manufacturing origins.

They had a lot of interesting stuff and I quickly became overwhelmed on my first time in sharps. Checking out, I did not realize that I had gone over the budget I placed for myself. When the guy read off my total, I had to tell him I needed to get as close to 60 dollars as possible. I am legally blind and my mom was with me. She said he looked passed off about needing to take items off. She then proceeded to tell him I was legally blind and can't see the prices on the stickers and he rolled his eyes at her. I apologized about my first time being in here and becoming overwhelmed, and not keeping track of how much I was spending. He said "yeah this stuff adds up quick" . No attempt to reconcile his bad behavior whatsoever. Felt more like just trying to be civil. There were trump stuff up everywhere , which made me laugh, and I suppose explains his attitude towards me since I had a mask on. I'll return calculator in...

So, I’m giving this place 5 stars because they have cheap items. A lot of food is past dates, but it all is perfectly fine to eat! Workers are a bit, meh but who cares cheap items and snacks. I only have 1 issue with it’s the store, and I doubt I could get proof it’s from them. Every time I go there, I find Larder Beetles in my home. We didn’t go there for weeks, and not a single beetle was found. We went a few days ago, I found 3. I’m not sure where they are coming from, and this is the only place I can connect because of when they show up.

Does anyone else have Larder Beetles after going to this store? Google what they look like, if...
