Got these the other day from Aldi's, must have been a different brand because my box was orange I believe - I'll look tonight. This is the only picture I could find.

They were ok, something was missing. I might try another one tonight & see what it needs.

Anyone else try a version of their chicken burgers?

Ok, here are my final thoughts on the wreath:

The good news is after I pried it out of the box and hung it up it actually works in my bedroom so I am very pleased with that.
The bad news is, after I pried it out of the box it is S-T-I-N-K-Y! Hoo boy. It was quickly banished to the other bedroom and thankfully the smell has dissipated.
Overall, it's a nice little wreath but I don't think it's worth the full $20. I think they are offsetting the price of the wooden curl ones with others that are of lesser quality to keep the $20 price point. I am probably going to keep it since I truly do like the way it looks and finally fills out that corner of my bedroom that has been bugging for a long time but it's still on probation for a bit.

@momtochloe

Wreath????

What did I miss Sista'?????

Added: I see your post now, wreath from Aldi's. I don't think I remember one with yellow flowers, sounds pretty. What's it like?

I can take a LOT of heat, but that humidity is a deal breaker for me the older I get. I got to give them a salute-I am NOT one of those silver hairs going to FL. I would melt. Now 120 in Phoenix is just very warm to me. And that doesn't last all that long and unlike winter here, I never had to scrape something off my windshield or shovel the driveway. If I am going to be uncomfortable/miserable for a few weeks a year, I choose Phoenix as the place for that to happen!

I''m with ya @mustang66lady

I'd rather melt in AZ than freeze in NY!

Ok, so here's the thing. I noticed on the "menu" for the Q that you can peruse 26 pages of CIJ items. I get excited looking at these items as I know, is the intention. Am I the only one? Sometimes when I do this, I almost feel like I am wishing my life away instead of taking joy in the summer and all it has to offer. Yet, if you don't pay attention, you will either pay more as the season nears or the item(s) will be out of stock. I started looking at these pages and already am starting to plan my Christmas holidays and menus! What is wrong with me?! I know I am causing myself undue stress. Yet, for some reason, I can't help myself. I don't watch the Q or any shopping channel as I once did, but dang it, this has me like a sheep to slaughter.
@mustang66lady

I started to go through the CIJ pages and then made myself STOP! NO! I don't need anymore!!!! I figure if I don't look, I won't buy. In reality, I wil prolly just pay more later like you said! LOL

NO!! I got new things the past 2 years when we moved in this house. I have just the right amount of things for this house layout!

I DID order Mrs. Prindables for Thanksgiving though. Rumor has it, I might have a large gang again. We LOVE Mrs. Prind. but my beef with them was that they don't have a small enough set for 3-4 people.

The apples can perish quickly and just for my family, I waste them. Too $$ to toss. So for the past 2 years, I have not puchased...and heard about it big time from the kids.

Broke the tradition!

If we do get a crowd at Thanksgiving, I will def be able to use them up. They had a good chocolate/PB set. No one likes those sprinkle ones. Just give us the chocolate!

I am forcing myself NOT TO LOOK!!! I have so much - I don't need anything!!!

I'm with you though - don't look so I won't feel like I'm missing out.

@momtochloeMy sil makes a miniature bite size version of this using vanilla wafers for her grandkids.

@tiny 2

@momtochloe

Cute idea! I think we would like that even better, a full size cake is too much for us.

Hiya @ChiliPepper , TGIF my friend!

Yep the Aldi wreath is fine but I don't think it's worth $20 to be honest. But it really looks nice in that corner so I think I will keep it but again I think maybe Aldi is mixing in wreaths of a bit lesser quality in order to keep the price point at $20 because those wooden curl wreaths are more than worth that money.

Now that DD is a HS graduate with honors, any special plans for the summer? I hope both of you have a lovely and special summer together . . .

It is so dark here the little light activated night light I have plugged in in the kitchen is on and now the heavens have opened up. I had a coupon at Panera and ran there earlier, glad I got home before this!
