Not sure if "supplies & related" shout outs belong here, but going to roll the dice here...
We recently got a "Trader Joe's", and I'm actually sort of impressed with some of their orchids -- they have a fair number of "miniature or small" orchids in four inch pots, in spike, for $7.95 each.
Here's an Oncidium and a tiny-leaved Paphiopedilum with a big flower I picked up today -
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
Nothing terribly rare or spectacular, to be sure, but for a "cheapie" small orchid to place in a viv, that's a tough price to beat. Both were in real nice shape, too -- rare for a grocery-store orchid in my experience, but that may be at least partially because the store is too new for them to have over or under watered them for an extended period of time.
