Today's Special Value

Double-D — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 21:35:11 GMT

I have just gotten home from work and turned on the TV while cooking something for dinner. They were presenting TSV. I laughed out loud!! How tacky.....plastic flowers with lights for $50+ that you can find at Walmart.

One of the forums has a thread about this. Some people actually like them

I didn't see them so, I have no opinion, but I wouldn't start a thread offending someone elses taste

May I just say that I own a BL red gardenia hanging basket that has been outside for at least 5 years. It hangs there all year long and has not faded or frayed. Real-looking (IMO) silk flowers are hard to find (sorry HL and craft store stuff looks like garbage to me)... so I understand the cost of really good artificial stuff.

Some day I might start up my own shop just so I can have access to the market (in Dallas) for this greenery and stuff.

Ever wonder why PB looks so great? This would be why.

While we are all entitled to our opinion, why is it that some posters just have to be nasty while expressing theirs? Just say you don't care for it and leave it at that. Although I doubt the shoppers who did purchase the TSV (myself included) will be wringing our hands losing any sleep over the OP's opinion.

Well, y'know...starting a thread (with an ambiguous title of course) to say Today's Special Value - It doesn't appeal to me, is kinda...why? So it has to be OTT so people will notice.

Meh.

What causes me to laugh out loud is those posters who have never even seen the item in person or purchased them who proclaim you can get someting cheaper at Walmart or other places! Personally, I would never buy artificial flowers at Walmart or even a craft store as I would want quality over cheapness! I have never known Walmart or other cheap stores to carry anything remotely close with lights and a timer and quality that lasts outdoors for many years!

I have to admit, I laughed when I saw it too. I will always prefer real to fake. To each his own.

I like the TSV. If I didn't have one from years ago that didn't look brand new, I'd get it.

Why would you laugh and then insult those who like it?

I don't have florals but I do know they are very In now because there are so many high quality artistic examples nowadays.

Last December I paid well over $400 for a four foot Christmas tree that is said to be the best made. My daughter and I have asthma and can't have a real tree anymore.

Maybe those who are laughing haven't been in upscale stores lately and don't know how things have changed.

Because some people believe the world should only be populated by clones of themselves.

I'm not getting this, since I also have a similar item I purchased last year. I can't hang a real plant in front of my kitchen window, since it just gets too much sun and heat (lived here almost 30 years, and I've tried everything).

I think the TSV is attractive. If I didn't, I'd keep my thoughts to myself.

They don't look like plastic to me-

The day I find that quality of artificial plant/flowers at Walmart.......
