Graveyard Mall: 288 Crazy Bands for $29.98 Shipped!
Alright, I have 3 kiddos (as you probably know) and they still haven’t jumped on the Crazy Bands craze! However, if you have kiddos that have, then you may want to checkout Graveyard Mall today! Their Deal of the Day is 288 Crazy Bands for $23.99 + $5.99 shipping. You will receive a total of 24 bags of 12! They state the retail value is $119.76, but I have no clue if that’s accurate since I have never purchased these before.
I would think these would make great party favors for an upcoming birthday!
I’d love to hear your feedback! Is this a good price or not?!
(Thanks, Bucktown Bargains!)
I bought one package 24 bands for $3.99 toy story themed.
Where did you find Toy Story themed?
They have a Toy Story theme at a place called Palmetto Moon here in Charleston, SC.
I saw some Toy Story ones at Walgreens a few days ago. I didn’t stop to see how much they were though.
hallmark stores in my area have the toy story ones
amazon has toy story bandz and offer free shipping
Well…it sounds like a good deal.
They are sold for $2.99 each little bag with 12 bands at Walgreen’s. So if you buy 24 bags at Walgreen’s, you’ll pay $71.76 + tax and they’re charging less than $30.
TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!!
But,..I’m not gonna buy them. I bought 3 bags for each of my kids and I have those bands everywhere in my house! lol ENOUGH FOR ME!
My girls love Silly Bands/Crazy Bands. We get them at CVS in Michigan for $1.99 a package(12 in each) So that would be $48 for 24 packages – so this may not be such a good idea – Unless of course they are sold out in some areas …
ok – oops – nevermind – that is a good deal – didn’t have my coffee yet this morning!! LOL
Wow, my grandkids have lots of these and I didn’t know how expensive they are. Can’t believe they are charging sooo much for little plastic bands in friendly shapes and colors.
Totally, i buy these all the time for around 3.99 for a 24 back, and so you’re saving a lot of money! But if you have 3 kids then each kid will get around 96 silly bandz. xD (That’s a lot of bandz!)
Many of the schools are banning these crazy things. My kids went nuts over them & 1 week later, they have been banned. CVS, Wags has them for 2.99 here in Michigan. Pray your kids don’t want them! UGH!!!
They’re only 1.99/12 out here in the Chicago suburbs… Not worth it to get so many when many of them will be the basics. The kids are looking for the unusual ones.
My local Walmart sells them for $1 a bag. I just bought a couple last week.
Can someone please explain the appeal of these to me? I’ve seen them advertised EVERYWHERE and I just don’t get it. Maybe it’s because I’m too old? 🙂
Is it just because there’s so many different ones that you have to trade/collect them all kind of thing? Like who can get the most?
And why are schools banning them? They don’t seem harmful, maybe distracting though…
Not sure why, but my kids love them. Little, colorful, plastic bracelets that are shaped. Someone’s making a bunch of money on these crazy little things and yes…I’m probably going to buy some. Birthday’s are coming. These absolutely would make good favors.
I read on the internet that schools were banning them because they were distracting. Kids were trading them during class.
I am a teacher and these have been banned starting next school year at our elementary school. 🙁 The kids trade them and chew on them in class. They also twist them into crazy shapes like a bucket or a tower and show others across the room. They do get a little annoying!
There was a news article online by a Dr. saying these things are harmful to your child’s health because the kids can wrap these rubber bands (essentially, that is what they are) around their hands, fingers, and arms etc… so tight it can cut off circulation.
My kids are on the craze – at present they are fighting over the red horse. My youngest always loses them, my son always find them, he has more, she wants hers back….on and on and on. They are banned in our school so the kids now only have them for at home, play dates, etc. If you’re doing them for a favor then it’s a good deal, if only for your kids I would buy a couple packs and split them.
BUT…I might get some because the past few years I have stopped doing candy on halloween and leave out little toys and what not. Usually pencils, glow in the dark teeth, and other crazy things. I think this would make a GREAT addition to my halloween stash and hopefully something the kids are still crazy for!
Thank goodness my kids have not jumped on the bandwagon with these! In Maryland they are $4.99 for 24! And they are like hotcakes. Everytime I’m at a store that carries them, the kids are swarming all over the place. The $30 would be a great price for those of us who end up getting sucked into the craze. Maybe I should buy them so next week when my kids end up wanting them, I’ll have them! LOL!! Stockpiling silly bands- thats a new one!
The reason that some of the schools have banned them is because they put them in their mouth and use them as pretend braces. (in my area) They also take them off and use them as rubber bands and they end up at the other end of the room or in someone’s eye.
A week or so ago I saw this article in my Yahoo!/Times news feed (https://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20100527/us_time/08599199179700) which explained that silly/crazy bandz are being banned because due to distraction. Interesting article.
Walmart sells them for a $1.00 for a pack of 12. I resfuse to go to Walmart so I won’t be buying any.
ha! I’m on a Walmart ban too! What’s your reason?
I’M on a wally ban because I perfer to buy my toilet paper, gold fish, ammunition and eggplants at a store where you can’t smell the damn McDonald’s on every aisle. (but that’s just me.)
we have subway at ours 🙂
I haven’t seen them at my local walmart. :-(. The CVS here doesn’t carry them. I’ve been looking for them as favors for my kiddo’s birthday party. If I don’t find them at walmart on my Saturday run, definitely going to order these!
The ones at Walmart are a spin off to the original bands. You can find them on a end cap. The Walmart I went to had them at a end cap down by the paint section. Try asking someone who works there but Walmarts do have them.
well crazy bands are not the stronger original silly bands silly bands sell for 249 per pack of 12 disney are 499 for 24 crazy bands are 100 a pack at local dollar stores not really a deal at all
I just looked at ebay and you can get 288 of them for 24.99 and free ship! Zoo, Car, Princess, etc. Search on 288 Silly Bandz and it comes up!
I also think these crazy bands, in some areas, are following the trend of about four years ago when teens would wear certain colors of plastic wrist bands as a signal: i.e. willing to have sex, available to date, etc. Ugh.
yikes
yes…that is why we are not allowing our daughter to have them. I saw them talking about this on the news. how the kids are using certain colors to signal what they have done sexually.
5.00 for 24 here too…selling out like crazy!!! We got fruity scented ones, pirate and rock music ones…I am DONE buying them though! 🙂
I was asked to buy these -they were $6.00. I said no because they we so expensive. then I felt bad So thank you for letting me know they are out there for a dollar.Six dollars for elastics pleeesssee but I bought the zoozoo ; ) laughing at self
I bought my daughter a 2 packs of Zany Bands @ $4.99 for 24 bands yesterday. Its another company…same thing just and different name.
These bands are also banded in schools in some states because they are a distraction.
I saw these things at the hallmark store, I want to say they were $2.99 or something like that, but no way I’d pay that much for shaped rubber bands. My kids ask me for regular old rubberbands for this and that around the house, but I’ve come to realize that under 8 year olds really have no “need” for a rubberband, it always ends up causing trouble!
I recently visited my cousin and her kids in GA. The kids are bonkers for these things. My cousin went on a search for them to no avail and finally bought two 24 packs for $6 each at the shop she works at. I’m buying them because it saves her the time to deal with finding them and her daughter’s birthday is in two weeks.
Ok, mabye it’s because I homeschool and my kids are under 8, but my granny sent each of my girls a pack of them…and they didn’t even know what they were! Only one of mine (the 3 yr. old) wears them. So, not a good use of $30 for us:) But I do have friend that has looked everywhere for them and can’t find them. So maybe for her this would be good!
This post just makes me have to laugh at myself! My husband works for a large company and every Halloween they host Trick or Treating through their cubes. We have done organic candy since we became parents (going on 4 years now) but last year I thought maybe something non-candy would be fun too. Well… these were so pricey then that I didn’t get them b/c I would’ve needed to count on the kiddos taking only one a piece for them to last the whole afternoon… yeah right! Sadly, if I had followed through… I’m sure I’d be hallowed as a Trend Setter. DANG!! LOL (this year we’ve already stocked up on eco-friendly pencils and home-made crayons… so we have gone from trend-setting to LAME – oh well. We <3 ya Mom Earth!)
eeeessh. I can’t believe the craze. . . . and I don’t think they could pay me enough to bring them to my house where I have to pick them up constantly. soooo glad my kids have not heard of them. . and if they do? well, they can just ask for something else. Maybe it is because I have young kids, but rubberbands are something I avoid in general. I find them being used as “bracelets,” being flipped, being eaten . . . . . .. I had one child put a zip tie around her neck as a necklace (started out bigger, but then she had it tightened by the time I saw her), but so far no rubberbands around the neck. As a parent, I would appreciate the eco-friendly pencils and home-made crayons much more!
wait, i think these are bootlegs. The actual brand that they’re supposed to be is “Silly Bandz” These are Crazy Bands. D:
Ill just stick with buying them from the store.
Thanks for posting bootlegs collin.
I really hope you’re kidding. It’s not a bootleg if it is a general common place thing – sure someone had the idea of shapped rubber bands FIRST that someone else then morphed into the idea of shapped rubber braceletts and now there are 14 different brands/companies doing the same thing – it’s just creating competition in the marketplace, like having a brand name and a store brand sitting next to each other on a shelf or the fact that there is such a thing as an iPod and a Zune; they are basically the same thing – pocket sized MP3 players that also play videos and take pictures – but they are just made by different manufacturers. What IS considered bootlegged is if you go to Coach or Burberry or anywhere else that sells a product value and noteability, see their products, then go to your house and try to replicate the same exact design and pattern while then trying to sell your knockoffs as originals – those are all copywrited and have patients and you’d be in hot watter if you did. IF Silly Bandz had filed a US patient THEN it would be illegal to copy their designs EXACTALLY, which STILL isn’t considered a bootleg because bootlegging is copying something else to a T and then selling it as that brand. Say Silly Bandz had a few iconic designs – like they partnered with Disney or something – then it would be also illegal for other companies to copy those designs and use the same brand name. Do you also hate Cheerie-o’s because those are a “knock-off” of what Post sold 150 years ago? I’m sure your kids out grow their shoes really fast so why not pay $7 bucks for a pair of “croc-like-shoes” from Target instead of shelling out $30 for the child-sized name brand that they’ll abuse and then not use in four months. It pains me to think how ignorant you are; to point out something so trivial that isn’t even correct and in doing so you pretty much libelously defame Collin of being a criminal. Who cares what the original product is called – THIS one is on sale and i’m more than sure that the kids don’t notice as there is no brand name slapped on the thin plastic.
Our local 5 Below sells them … a 24 pack for $2.00 so I don’t think that this is a really great deal (unless you’re having trouble finding them). My 5 and 7 year old love them.
other readers are correct in that the popular brand is called silly bandz. also many schools are banning these because children are spending too much time trading them or using them as projectiles
we have a little corner store that sells them for 1.00 🙂 . I also see them from 1.99 – 4.99 other places. Mine and the other kiddies on our block are nuts about them!!
I didn’t know they were so popular! My little bro got some last week and gave me the pink princess crown (: he’s too cute and insists I wear it 24/7! Lol
These became huge in B’ham last summer and finally fizzled out a few months before the school year was out. I think my daughter’s school was the only school not banning them. In fact, they sold them as fundraisers!! She got a couple of packs as gifts last summer (so did her brother) and we had a million of them (not really but 48 per child is a lot). Though, neither of my kids really cared for them. We ended up passing many of them on to other people. They really like giving them to others!
I just found out about these bands recently. But was at a dollar store today and got a bag of 12 for $1. They may be knock-offs, but good enough for the short time they’re gonna be “in”.
