I may drop by Kmart this week after I visit my grandmother. The Big Lots I went to didn't have any cubes unfortunately.

At Bed, Bath and Beyond, in their storage section, I found several boxes of the safe grids. They only had them in silver. It's called "Stacking Cube Set" from the NeuHome brand, and it was $14.99 for a box of 16 grids and 18 connectors. Enough to make a 4 cube shelf, more than enough to make a 2x4 c&c cage. I bought 2 boxes. BBB also sometimes has 20% off coupons too, to save some money.

Here is a link to order them online. Shipping is only $5.99 for one box of cubes! I think it's a pretty good deal considering how heavy these boxes are.

I went to Kmart today and they had 3 boxes of

GOOD GRIDS!

They are 13.98" square outer dimensions and 1.5" square inner dimensions. Unfortunately there was no price and this being kmart no one to ask. My store had black only. On your mark, get set, GO!

I actually called our local flea market and found out that there is a sign shop there. The guy told me he would sell me a 4x8 sheet of black coro for 20 bucks. That is a steal! He even said he would cut it for me.

Most places will cut once, but they start charging after the first cut.

I tend to find grids all over the place when stores start selling stuff for college kids. I am lucky that my Target still sells the good grids!

Bed bath and beyond has silver grids for 14.99. It is 16 grids and the look to be the 9x9. I used my 20% off(2) and got 2 of them for 11.99. I ordered 3 and with shipping it was $50. Not bad I thought. Hopefully they will be here soon!!

cNP, your Target still has good grids???!!!! I need some. Maybe you can grab some for me, run up here this weekend and see my pigs. I'll pay you back when you get here-just bring me the receipt. Those grids are the best.

STF, you probably need to hit up Kmart instead. Did you ever find one nearby?

I was at my local Kmart and bought three boxes and started building my first C & C cage last weekend -- the cubes seem good but the connectors are not. They're really hard to connect and one snapped in half when I was trying to force it in. I guess if you use zip ties it's fine, but zip ties just don't seem very safe and sturdy to me.... ?

STF, I might can meet you with some grids if you're ever really desperate.

Scarleticia, is this your first cage? I only ask because the first time I built a cage I thought I was going to burn every damn connector I had. They seem SO simple but there's a learning curve to getting them all in there the right way. Slip joint pliers help. I've broken a few of the Target ones too so I'm betting your cage is ok.

None at my KMart either.
