text: what are the best fireworks to buy (ca) and affordable too? i want to put on an awesome show with a variety of fireworks, i live in ca, and my family is not the kind that puts down a lot of money for fireworks.  i'll choose the best answer that has a variety, good fireworks to put on a show, and affordble(if you can estimate the price) if your willing to buy fireworks, the best for the money are artillery shells, i know around where i live they are 9.99 for 9 shells, really beautiful, and one called a show stopper, i shoots off 50-100 artillery shells and can cost anywhere between 50.00-200.00 depends on what you want really my favs are aerial, but then you also have ground effects which can be fun, i say stick with artillery shells, also aka festival balls
