Everyday Essentials Available At Vidler’s

Okay, we admit it. If you think of Vidler’s as a purveyor of the funny, the weird, and, yes, even the downright inexplicable, you’re not wrong. (Take a bow, Yodeling Pickle.)

Just remember, though: We sell plenty of essential household items, too – everyday things you need to keep your home and life running smoothly.  

For example, we have:

Housewares

• blue-and-white speckled enamelware, including roasting pans, stockpots, and oven roasters’

• various sizes of pie pans and pie shields;
• tea kettles;
• flour sifters;  
• a large selection of Lodge cast iron;
• Rome pie irons and campfire-cooking utensils;

We even have products that are a cross between the essential and the whimsical. Such as, well – bacon bandages.

How is it that Vidler’s seems to have just about everything?

Simple: It’s been our mission all along to be your everything store.

Today, our mission remains the same: to offer a wide variety of goods, at low prices, under a single roof – all with a human touch worth way more than even the oldest nickel or dime.
