Thank you all for helping me reach over 3000 subscribers! You are awesome and I truly appreciate you! With that, it was time to finally attempt my first 3000 count puzzle. I chose to work on Schmidts 3000 count puzzle called "Belle's Magical World", which is a Disney's Thomas Kincaid image. My journey had a lot of ups and downs, but I did learn quite a few things along the way. See more of my c...

I have tried 3 Galison puzzles. They all came in a square box, 500 pieces. The pieces were thick, small, and the top paper was peeling off on many of the pieces. Several of the pieces came damaged. The puzzle pieces felt like stacks of paper shopping bags glued together. What you are showing is not the same as the Galison pieces I experienced.

I’m doing the Toy Story one right now from Dollar General
Missed you ❤
🤗
Pretty picture but the crumbliness is annoying for me too! What was that clear spatula tool you used to transfer a section of pieces??
The spatula is called a Puzzle Scoop. You can find them on Amazon or stores like Walmart and Target.
Must have the puzzle scoop .thanks for sharing .
You're welcome! It's a great tool to have.😁
Don’t get the Cardinal brand. And I mean get it - so you can share how bad it is.
I love trying bad puzzles just to see how bad they are LOL
Buyer beware: in the same section at Dollar general there is “cardinal” brand - the worst. You should get one just to hate it.
I actually have a couple of Cardinal puzzles that I picked up from DG ages ago, and I still haven't tried them out. Sounds like something I'll be working on soon 😉
MAKOS Amina ❤️ 🥰👱♂️👅🙏
Those images are in Ceaco’s regular collection as well. That is different as typically the images as well as the quality is different for dollar tree puzzles
Interesting, thank you for sharing! That makes now think that there'll be more images coming.
I need to find a Dollar General!!
I know there are some states where they are sparse, but I'm surrounded by them 😂
Congratulations. Big achievement.
Thank you!
Fun watching. 😊
I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Glad to hear that Ceaco's Red Barn brand is pretty good quality, especially for the price. I did a bit of searching for the Red Barn brand history but didn't find very much at all.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. Makes me wonder if it's a new-ish collection or something like that from Ceaco.
Great buys Mandy. They look really nice for the price. Looking forward to your other upcoming videos 😀 Just got out of hospital so still bit brain foggy....tell you more later. Im all good now though or 98% there 😀
Hope you continue to get better Ernie! Take it easy!
@@thepuzzledmandy Yeah i feel better. Having few tests which i feel are a waste of time yet just to be sure. 😀 Im a tough 'ol cookie 😅
Hi, Mandy.🌻I almost bought one of these puzzles today, but then I was strong and resisted. I bought a lot of puzzles from Black Friday all the way to the end of December, and I pledged (with fingers crossed behind my back) that I wouldn't buy any more until I complete the ones I have. They're mostly large count puzzles-2K to 6K- so I may not be buying any for the rest of the year. We'll see...😬 Love and Peace from California. 🥰
I love that you're committed to finishing the puzzles you already have. I do not have that kind of willpower 😅 hence why my shelves are filled with unopened puzzles LOL.
I am enjoying this channel! You remind me of.....me at a younger age.😅
😁Happy to hear you're enjoying the channel!
Wow! I love the size for these as I don't have a large table. Most 300 pc these days have oversized pieces so they end up 18by24, I'd rather get a 1000 pc for that much real estate.
Yea, I'd much prefer a 1000 count not only for the size, but for the puzzle time. I feel like I get more for my money.
Nice your husband supports and takes interest in your hobby! Last year I picked up some clearance puzzles at DG for 1.75. Ill try again if I think of it. Glad you enjoyed the puzzles
I love when DG have those big clearance sales. I'm always on the lookout for them 💸 I try to control my buying and have "no spend" months, but then I always get a call or text from him about whatever he finds 😅
Wow, I’m pretty surprised that the quality is so decent. I just wish they weren’t so glossy. But still seems worth checking out 🙂
Yea, the gloss was annoying at times, but for the price, I'll take it. Everything else about it was pretty good.
Thank you so much for this! I really wanted to pick up the Lion King one and Ursula ones for myself (I hope they get a Queen of Hearts one in!), but I was scared. I can't wait to see how they compare to the 5 Below ones. Thank you so much for doing this! You are a treasure!
You're so welcome! I was itching to do these since I got them. Gonna be working on the 5Below puzzles next!
Yes, that is a great surprise, and a nice way to begin a new year (HNY, btw). Unfortunately for me, the closest Dollar General is over 45 miles away. I haven’t had much luck finding bargain puzzles here (Goodwill, SA, Dollar Tree, Five Below, etc.), so I’m always a smidge jealous to see these (on the other hand, it’s probably a good thing, or I’d become an even-worse puzzle hoarder 😉). Oh, and judging from your watch, I gotta say cheers to another leftie (I was always told we’re the only ones in our right minds, haha).
Hello again fellow leftie! It is tough when you're surrounded by so many good deals 😂 I do my best to control myself lolol.
Thank you for your review on these. I checked my Dollar General when you spoke about this earlier and found The Lion King and Toy Story 1000 pc, it was right before Christmas and they didn't have much on the shelves but I was able to grab those 2. Looking forward to trying them out. Thanks for that! Not to bad for dollar store pricing 😊
I hope you enjoy them! 🤗 Hopefully they'll stock up some more soon. I'm planning to head back soon to see if they've got any more.
@@thepuzzledmandy Good luck...Hope you get a bunch!
Matiles minama pnatsenc😭💔
I have never seen a Dollar General here in Ontario.But sometimes at our local Dollarama they have for $5 Eeeboo,Galison or Mudpuppy.
Those brands at $5 is a super deal!
Always happy to see you review budget brands! I've got a 1k Red Barn/Ceaco Toy Story puzzle I plan to try soon.
I think I have more fun reviewing budget brands😅 Let me know what you think of it!

It's so nice to get such good quality at a great price. But I think what I loved most was that awesome Mickey Mouse watch! I only got a glimpse, but it appeared to be an led screen, which looked amazing. When I was kid, there were plenty of Mickey watches, but not like that!
😂My watch is my new favorite accessory. It's an Apple Watch and it has a lot of options for the face. Of course i had to have Mickey, but Minnie is an option too. He taps his feet and even tells you the time when you tap the screen. I Love it!
@@thepuzzledmandy That is so cute! I know nothing about Apple watches, or tech gadgets, phones, etc. Give us a little demo in your next video!
I think Ceaco was purchased by Buffalo. Wonder if Red Barn is now Buffalo
Yes, Ceaco did buy out Buffalo awhile back. I really need to do more research on this as I'm super curious.
The Mickey diner puzzle is super cute! I’m going to hopefully find some Red Barn puzzles.
Hope you do find them, they're great!
Nice! Unfortunately we don't get Ceaco puzzles here in Europe. I would certainly buy them if I could.
I'm surprised they're not in Europe, but then again you do have many fabulous brands out there that we don't have.
@thepuzzledmandy except here in Greece 😆 doing puzzles is mainly considered a kids pastime so very difficult to get puzzles
Hello Mandy. Happy to catch your review today. Have not been able to find any Disney puzzles here in our DG but may travel into PA or MD or NJ. Dang.....I was impressed......🎉🎉
I hope you find them on your travels! 😊 I was amazed at how good they were.
I love your Mickey Mouse watch! Happy New Year to you and your family.
Thanks 🤗It's become my new favorite accessory. Happy New Year to you as well!
Hey 👋 Mandy
Hey there😁
Hi Mandy, I just wanted to say how much I've been enjoying your videos. I watched a bunch of them over the holidays and your reviews have helped me pick out some quality puzzles during my last trip to Barnes and Noble. I love the part where you pretend you live in the puzzle, I'm gonna start doing that too lol
I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos, and happy to hear that I was a help during your puzzle shopping! Enjoy being part of your puzzles 😁
