I know its been a long time since I’ve paid full price for anything, but c’mon…
Who on earth is going to pay $19.95 for 10 paper tags and some string?
Probably the same person who would pay $4.95 for 2 crushed candy canes.
Do you know anyone who would pay $6.95 for {3} sprigs of Noble Fir?
Am I totally loosing it, or do people really buy this stuff?

rich ppl, or ppl who think they’re too good to get their hands dirty or use coupons… good ole stigmas, saving us money everytime!

People who don’t realize their own inner abilities to make these items themselves. We, as a society, are so trained now to think we have to buy everything pre-made that we don’t realize we are COMPLETELY capable of making items ourselves. Personally, I’m too cheap to buy it so I will grab my hubby’s hammer and a box of candy canes and do some DIY bit making. Hey, you could post a youtube video on how to make DIY crushed candy canes. It’ll be the next big thing…..

Good detective work. 🙂 It was rather busy there yesterday, but still fun to walk around.

Um, wow. I’m going back up to the woods where we cut our noble. I could be set for life!

I’m thinking you could just cut those gift cards out of paper grocery bags and save yourself $20.
Mavis says
Ha! I agree!

I feel the same things are getting crazy! We went and cut our tree yesterday and I was looking at the wreaths they make and a huge one was $50 a lot but not to bad a price considering a place closer to us sells the same size for $200 a rip off! Who would pay that for a wreath? And when we were there last year a guy was picking one up he ordered, I barely spend that on my family for groceries for a month and there are 6 of us.
