Alajane Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 If any of you got the leaf crock containers from Walgreen's last year, they have a different leaf-design crock this year. It's slightly smaller, but that works for me since the price of wax and shipping have gone up--I'm thinking maybe I can keep the price the same as last year with a smaller container!! I got all my store had (only 8!!) and thought I'd give all of you a heads-up that they're in the stores now. Last year's style was a very good seller for me and I cleaned out 5 different stores when I was on vacation!HTH,Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I don't live near a WG's, could you please post a pic, I would like to see. I may have to get some myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k&g Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 yes, please please post a picture! I bought out a few WG's last year before Christmas - they had great 'loaf crocks' for .99/ea! I'd love to see the ones you're speaking of.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 We just got a new Walgreen's here, but I haven't even been in it and I don't have a clue what you're talking about. Please, will you post a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I will check around and see where the closest one is to me.My guess is 25 miles.That is where I remember seeing a ad for one.Will have to check.I also haven't been to Big Lots yet to see what they have.Got some cute containers last year but the problem is if you get them they are gone the next time you go.LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 My memory is so terrible--but I'll try to remember to take a picture tonight and post it!! They're really cute crocks, though. It was quite an ordeal trudging through the huge car show in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, carrying bags with 28 ceramic crocks on vacation last year! The traffic and parking there were horrible so we didn't even attempt to move our car closer to the store, so DH and I took turns carrying the bags for about a mile to our car.And oh, how I miss Big Lots!! We had a great store here that was almost always busy; don't know why, but it was closed this past spring. It was at least a weekly stop for me.

Luci Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 We had a great Big Lots here, too, and it closed right after Christmas. Everyone misses it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 Luci, what I couldn't understand is that the nearest Big Lots was very clean and neat and seemed to do lots of business. One a few miles away is several years older, grungy, and people I know won't go there because it seems so nasty. My DIL would drive past that one and go about 10 miles to the one that closed and I heard several other people say the same thing. Yet they closed the nice one and left the other one open!Sorry--my rant for the day!!Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 All of us in town were surprised when the closing was announced. I guess at the national level, sales just weren't up to par. The closest now is right in Myrtle Bch, and I don't go into that area during the season. If I happen by one when I'm on the road, I go into it!

ScentsandMore Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I saw some crocks at Walgreens the other day while I was flying thru the store. If I remember correctly, they had them in a cream color, redish and another color. Are these the same ones you saw? If I remember right they had a crock with a lid and coffee mugs that matched.

LynnS Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Alajane,Did you sell candles at the car show?My friend goes to car shows (Tenn,KY.IN. and Ohio)and she said candles are sold and for a short time she sold candles at car shows.She got hers wholesale in TENN.I am sure she said candles were sold there.LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 Scents and More--Yes, those are the ones I got. The coffee mugs are beautiful, but they're $2.99 each and the crocks with lids are only $0.99--so that's what I chose!! Also, the mugs are really larger than the size I can sell easily. By the way, the other color is a deep green. The leaf design makes them look like an autumn item, and the colors look Christmas-y, so I think they may sell through the entire season.Lynn--no, I didn't sell at the car show. We were there on vacation, not even knowing the car show was going on, and just happened upon it. It was such an amazing show that we're going back this year and staying at the hotel where the show is based.Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Wow--I remembered to take the picture tonight!! Now to see if I was able to size them down enough to fit!! Here's the picture of the crocks Walgreen has this year.Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Just for comparison, this is the style crock they carried last year that sold so well for me.Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Those crocks are nice.I looked at the ones this year and really like them BUT after looking at those for last year I have to I say like those the best.The problem is a new style this year.Now I have to check the phone book and see where a Walgreen is near me.I amd sure the closest is 25 miles.LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braveheart Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Those are nice looking. I didn't even know Walgreens carried stuff like that. The nearst ones from me are all over a hour away. But next time I get over to that area I'm going to have to stop by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Those are really cute! I have two Walgreens in my area... I'll have to go check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I sure like the color and look of last years, no wonder they sold so well. I don't like the color or style of this years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Checked out my Walgreen today. No crocks. The manager said to keep checking back every couple of weeks as they haven't started to get their Fall stuff in yet. And he didn't know if they would even get the crocks. What a bummer.

Michi Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 How funny that you posted this, as I just bought a few of those crocks yesterday at my Walgreens. My store was already putting in the Halloween stuff yesterday. EEKThese crocks actually are really nice and look better in person than the pic.

k&g Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I've gotton to 1 out of 4 WG's 'near' me and grabbed a tray of 8 so far - seems as though that's all they have - when they have them.I agree they look nicer in person. My mom and aunt really like them. Have filled one and did a marathon burn today. Off to 2 of the other stores tomorrow!!Thanks for the heads up!
