Has anyone seen the foam pumpkins they have at Target this year? They look GREAT almost like real pumpkins and they're half the cost of (non Sale) Michael's pumpkins. I havent carved into mine yet, so I dont know if there are any lines on the inside or any other issues, but man.. is it pretty!

I remember seeing those last year. Did not buy any though. Still surprised that Wal-Mart is not stocking their shelves with them to fight the competition.

I stopped by Target today and when I saw their pumpkins I said, "WOW! Those look amazingly real!"

Then I realized... I was looking at real pumpkins, not foam ones. :roll: I didn't know Target had real pumpkins too.

Then I saw their foam ones, which look decent. Basically like the one I bought last year which I never carved. Didn't feel the need to pick up another.

Sometimes places like that will carry real pumpkins. Not sure about mine, but will find out this upcoming Tuesday.

I have carved about three of them, and I think they work pretty well. I just had 20 delivered to my house since shipping was free because I paid with a Target debit cart. It would have been $199.40 for shipping. Plus I got a 5% discount, so it cost me less than if I had bought them at the store (I bought the only 3 thay had at the store).

The foam is a little easier to carve than Michaels, but it is thicker. It is consistently thick though. I think I will like them.

I bought 3 on sale after Halloween last year at Garden shop. I don't think they had a name brand on them, but they looked great. Not sure how they will carve yet. I'll have to check to see if I can figure out who makes them.

I bought one today! 12 bucks. Cheaper than Michaels, Hobby Lobby and JoAnns - even on sale/coupon - they had orange, white and black.

I was at Target over the weekend and the one mine got look really bad. Really thick seems and the stems did not look as good as they did last year. I guess it is just the ones that one got in that look bad.
