I posted about these a month ago and updated it this morning here: link – now much of it is on sale:
More pics in the link I provided above, but also there are the little 12"x12" "grass" mats -surely one could find a use for these – I was thinking scrub for Jungle/Darkest Africa but if done properly it may have value as undergrowth almost anywhere:
By the way – this is how you use the "Wargaming in [location X]" board. |

Those mats look nice. I like the irregular shape. |

The sign says the sale runs from Feb 26 thru Mar 4. :( |

Great stuff. Too bad I missed it by a day. :( |

Those grass mats look like they might be useful for fields, and/or very long grass areas on a terrain board. Thanks for sharing. They have coupons every week, so you can probably get at least one item for 40% – 50% off. |

I'm sure they will be marked down further or removed rather than go back up to full price. |

I grabbed some last year when they went on clearance. They also have a roll of moss. |

I just received an email from Michaels, the 12x12 mats are still on sale until the eleventh of March. link |

Just went right now to my local store. Everything marked "Greenhouse market" (all the the items discussed) were still marked 40% off :) |

Here's a link to the Michael's homepage. On it there is a coupon for 50% off a regular price item. That is for today but they usually have something similar. michaels.com |

Those coloured lichens would be useful for sci-fi too. |

Yes, that's what I was thinking, alien worlds (colored lichen moss). Weird plants form the aquarium section of large pet stores is also a useful source for this. I wonder if Michael's has this lichen in Martian Red?? |

They have printable coupons on the internet, so if you live near one, or it's on your way to/from work, you can buy stuff daily, at 50% off, I suspect. |

I picked up half a dozen different moss mats and four of the grass mats today. That'll keep me busy for awhile. The moss mats sure look like they could have a lot of uses. They also make a 48" roll of the moss mats that you could use to cut out smaller pieces. |

My local Michael's had that stuff on a 2-for-1 sale when I was in last night, picked up the teal and blue lichen, and some large cork chunks and light grey ballast/small gravel. The plastic plants weren't worth it even with the sale, I have lots of dollar store stuff sitting around. No Martian red lichen that I saw, though I'm thinking you could probably take some of the lighter stuff and dye it. |
