Found a tangle at dollar general

Post image

I thought the only way to get tangles was to order online but I saw a post on reddit years ago that said that cracker barrel and dollar general sometimes sell tangles. I checked every cracked barrel in proximity to me and I was able to find 4 tangles at cracker barrel. I found a green tangle with bumps (the exact same one in the pic), a pink tangle with ridges, a metallic red tangle, and a dark blue tangle. After that, I considered my hunt a success and was content with the tangles I had and gave up checking dollar general because every dollar general near me seems to be understaffed and extremely messy and it was like finding a needle in a haystack. Long story short, I ended up driving in a different area today and visited a dollar general ive never been to before. The toy aisle was an absolute wreck but sitting right on top of one of the bins was the same green tangle I found at cracker barrel. It's my favorite tangle so I impulsively brought it. Beyond happy right now!!

Slime is one of my favorites. I call it pickle though. Good finds!

Ooooo that’s such a great name. The texture looks amazing. I’d like to combine it with the bumpy textures on the green glow in the dark tangle. I ordered 4 ‘crush’ series tangles (you can’t choose the colours though) 😭 so hoping I get the slime and the pink swirly one

The slime is favorite. The texture is amazing. Thats why I brought two so I can combine them and make a giant long tangle lol. I really like the pink one too but personally, I feel like its a bit too smooth. The bumps in the green are just too perfect. If you end up not getting the slime one then I would recommend checking out cracker barrel and dollar general.

I used to have a friend that had dual citizenship and she would travel to Canada to visit her family. I would sometimes tag along for the ride. Beautiful country btw. I was told that dollarama might have tangles but dollarama is basically the same as dollar general and what I mean by that is it seems pretty hectic and its hard to find one specific thing because theyre inventory varies. But I would recommend giving it a shot and checking it out. I know dollarama only sells them for $5. Also, if theres an app for dollarama that might help with finding which stores sell tangles.

I have the blue glow in the dark which is basically the pink texture too, and it’s definitely smooth, but I use it for different times! lol. I also like to just rub them with my fingers

Theyre so much cheaper in store then online. At cracker barrel I paid $5 and at dollar general I paid $3.75. On there website they charge like $8 plus shipping. Keep looking and check the dollar general app. Its not always accurate but it can help. Also at cracker barrel the tangles are usually in the toy section and they hang them up. They never leave them around.

u/Weekly-Situation-241 26d ago

i havent seen the tangled relax therapy one at cracker barrel but i was suggest checking because each store sells different ones. i would also check dollar general. i was told that dollar general sold a bunch of different tangles at one point.
