    I was in Lowe's the other day and saw these pots sitting on a flat cart. They were a little scratched up, but there was no price so I asked one of the workers what was going on with them. She told me that she thought they wanted $2 each. These are the heavy duty, plastic pots, not the real thin ones and I've looked at them before so I know they normally run around $24 each. I'm planning to use them in the garden for raised beds so I couldn't care less if they're scratched up. I told her that I would take all eight of them. The best part came when the manager came back to override the price and said, "Oh, those are only $1 each." That's right, after tax I paid $8.48 for all of them.

    WOW...what a deal. One I would of grabbed up too. I could care less in something has a scratch, etc. unless I am paying full price. The bargain was great and my pots usually get scratched just storing them or getting ready for the season. They do make spray paint for plastics if it really bothers you later or you could paint something on them or use a decal.:)

    I didn't think about it that way Eileen! Now I'm even more delighted with my find.
