Double vavoom Connie. The color combination is just what I pictured. That is stunning.

Bev, it could be a combination of bleu cheese and the jalapenos. I love spicy. I do believe I have more energy now. Whistling

I have to keep going back to look at that beautiful composition of Connies. I just love the colors. Lovey dubby

This may be the only forum where the word CHEAP is the operative word of the entire life of this thread...

Gee, I was going to take pics of what I thought was cheap (6.99) but I don't think this thread is the place. Maybe I need to start a thread called: ~Near-Cheap,Maybe~

Maybe we should rename this thread 'Free, or under $2.00, Succulent Containers'?
What do you all think?

Then we can have one 'Inexpensive Containers, $3.00 and under $10.00'?

I like Jackie's word CHEAP. It has a special ring to it...
I say let's stick with it and when I post an iffy near cheap, I will issue a warning?
Like this one: Warning: Photo of Near Cheap Planters:
$6.99 each which I thought was a bargain for ones with stubby legs and rectangular in shape (unusual) and not chipped or cracked AND had holes already drilled!!! WHAT A BARGAIN!

Holes predrilled and feet to hold it up off of a surface definitely defines it as cheap for the price (in my opinion). It is all subjective can depend on what you actually get for the price. If we think someone really got ripped off we will of course politely remain quiet about it Hilarious! .

Thank you Connie!! You got good opinion!!! but the "politely remain quiet about it" will be harder for me; I think we should have a snickering emoticon...

Yes, old shoes are very, very cheap. You have some planted don't you Holly?

Oh wow, love the cheap blue twin planters Bev. Love the blue and white, and some of the flowers almost look like semps. Hurray!
And there is that yellow head planter that makes me drool. Drooling
