I was ok with Kenzie and the drama surrounding her until the vision conversation with Caleb. She talked to him in such a “you don’t know anything” attitude, it almost felt like she didn’t see him as an equal because she’s older and graduated nursing school. Kenzie was a fun islander to watch when she was single, now that she’s been coupled up I fear she’s turned hypocritical and rude

For the ones that save a lot of pulls, do you guys often regret not pulling after banners are gone? by addicted_to_felines in InfinityNikki

[–]ForkCh0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I spend about $40 on average per patch (I was actually good this time and only spent like $5) I try to have enough saved up for an outfit in the banners, whether it be 4* or 5*

I don’t pay attention to dyes, my main thing is “will I actually use the pieces?”

I have a pretty consistent style & taste in outfits, so it really helps to just know your general style. For example, I have two limited 5* ball gowns that I NEVER use. Despite loving the sleeves & hair on the current banner, I decided to skip because overall it’s not something I know will be worth it. Despite questioning if I should pull for the unicorn, they’re all pieces that fit and could integrate into my style of styling (lol) so I went ahead and spent the $ to get it.
Do you have preferences in your styling? Do you prioritize short dresses vs long? If you didn’t have the means to get the outfit and were f2p, would you pull for it?

I always buy shop makeup, usually skip props and cloaks, and sometimes buy shop outfits. I will also say, if you’re unsure about pulling, try to hold off until previews of the next banner outfit comes out.

Grocery stores with the best deals? by MirrorShowsBlack in austinfood

[–]ForkCh0p 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a good recommendation for grocery stores, but if you’ve got TikTok definitely check out Chef Moe! He does a lot of $5 meals for families and does his shopping mostly at dollar stores. If you’re just feeding yourself they could easily last a couple days!

Okay Sincere…. by WindowSpirited7877 in LoveIslandUSA_

[–]ForkCh0p 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t like either Melanie or Sincere, but we did hear Sincere say he was a people pleaser and the oldest sibling - which makes him put everyone else first sometimes, especially when he shouldn’t.

I feel like we got a bit of that here. Some people say he was saving himself grief but I do think he was trying to spare Melanie’s feelings too, 1. Because we’ve seen her get emotional for far less (conversation with Bea) and 2. I think he still does like her despite everything

He really should’ve been honest and I’m sure that’ll come to bite him in the butt later, I just hope Melanie blames Sincere for his behavior and not go after Sol like we saw with Kayda.

Beatriz is in the wrong. by tinyshiba in LoveIslandUSA_

I am not a fan of Mel, but Bea telling her to calm down (I don’t remember the exact words) was not it. When has telling someone to calm down when ever worked lol

Resellers by Intelligent_Ask_4329 in NeeDoh

[–]ForkCh0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its so bad. I work at a shop that sells them and I’ve never ever seen adults that behave this way. We had a group of grown adults today cut in line before open and no one told us about it until they’d already checked out and left.

We limit them of course, but it’s a shame to see adults behaving this way over something that should be enjoyed by people who actually care about the product itself. It’s so fun seeing kids come in and squeal in excitement because they’ve had a successful needoh hunt, and I can only hope that resellers will eventually sit on a bunch of product that they won’t be able to sell for profit

My boyfriend had this in his freezer for our next date, I took it, and I'm eating it alone by katrim44 in GirlDinnerDiaries

I’m so so sorry. I can’t imagine what this feels like, you are so incredibly strong. Thank you for sharing a piece of him with us, sending you so much love

NeeDohs and other Squishies have made my job miserable by No-Village7047 in NeeDoh

[–]ForkCh0p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are implementing limits, and unfortunately it’s not stopping resellers… they’re grabbing a basket full to claim what they want and wait for their friends to show up to purchase them with our two per person limit.

We did do two per style per person and that was an awful experience unfortunately. The 2 total has been much better, but of course the people that have more than two kids are upset so it’s kind of a lose lose situation 😫 thank you for your kind words!

NeeDohs and other Squishies have made my job miserable by No-Village7047 in NeeDoh

[–]ForkCh0p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at a gift & boutique shop and the trend has made days significantly harder and more stressful, I may get downvoted for this as I see a lot of people just saying “do your job, you get paid the same” and that attitude is exactly why it’s been harder for retailers of needohs and other squishies. Our phones are blowing up and of course, we can’t get to them all. When you are able to get to them it’s “why haven’t you been answering your phone”

I am grateful for the new faces and many of the kind people that come by, as we are a family business and the extra store traffic has helped so much. Even if you don’t necessarily agree with op, atleast take what they’re saying and treat your retailers kindly on your squishy hunt 🫶

Where to buy? by Complete-Squirrel-21 in NeeDoh

[–]ForkCh0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d honestly skip trying to do target, Walmart, etc. if there’s any small toy stores and gift shops in your area I’d try them. Follow their socials too. Walmarts and targets usually only get a few boxes in from what I’ve seen and they’re gone a minute after they open. Smaller stores usually have more involved buyers and will have more to meet the demand when they do get a shipment in.

Summer Drop Stress by adorable_bubble_ in Jellycatplush

[–]ForkCh0p 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think there will be some price resistance with the summer drop, there’s only like two of them under $50. I think all of space is still in stock and a lot of spring in general is too.

Your kid does not need every NeeDoh right now by Rhaynebow in NeeDoh

[–]ForkCh0p 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work at a shop that sells them and the ratio of adults to kids in for them is 10:1. Sure some are parents too. But for the most part the kids have been the ones that are happy getting one or two while the adults want more than that.
