Nice! Congrats on your newly-purchased pots!!! I too am a big fan of bargain hunting.

Me too, I love clearance!! Congrats on your great Score! I will have to check my Lowe's?

Wow, that is quite the bargain, congrats! I don't understand why pots/containers are so expensive. Even the cheap ones that are made of plastic with no designs on them. I got 2 larger pots at a dollar store. They were plastic and I did get them for a few bucks but the original price was $5.99! They were not even a gallon! I keep almost every pot I have. One of my friends came down to visit me yesterday. I gave her some ivy that I had started. It is really pnice. It has curly leaves. The leaves are curled so much, that the leaves almost look like a ball. I gave her cuttings that were rooted and some that were not rooted. I also have a tangerine seedling that I was going to give her but I said she would need to wait for me to repot it because it was in a terra cotta pot! I know I am cheap but I don't like to part with any flower pot, even when I give plants away.

I too love bargains..Unless pots are on sale, prices are unbelievable.
I rarely go to garage sales, but I discovered they're the best places to find ceramic containers..most containers are in excellent condition.

One year, I went to every garage sale looking for pots, saucers, plants and books. Got two 8" ceramic containers for .10 each.. And a yellow, 10" ceramic .50..
The problem is, it's difficult keeping glass with the pets..Out of all the ceramic pots I bought that one summer, two are left..lol..One being the yellow pot.

Andrew, you are correct about plain, plastic, non-decorative pots being expensive. Since 98% of my plants are in these simple pots, when I run out, I purchase them on Ebay..considering there's nothing to them, they're on the high side..and forget saucers..they cost more than the pots..lol..plastic, transparent saucers. Sheesh!

Another thing I do is, when I buy outdoor perrenials/annuals, I save the pots..wash, dry and save. They come in handy, especially 14" and up..Toni

Bo..

SWEET!!!!! I hope I find some..;-)

Mike..

You say huge containers? If they are more than 2 std sizes up from what you have now I would hold off on using them unless you are OK with taking a chance on no blossoms or friut for two to four years. Happens all the time.

Probably one of the best bits of advice I have seen!!

Yeah, I know that I can't start off with the big planters. I don't even have my dwarf citrus yet. I'll start them in something appropriately sized and move up slowly. I just couldn't pass up such a bargain for something I know I'll need in the future.
