big lots deals?
sometimes
maybe
the last few times i was there, i noticed they had 3 drawer rubbermaid rolling organizers for 11 bucks a piece, not a bad price
except walmart sells them for 9
i scored a 4 gig SD card for 10 bucks a few weeks back
but when i went this past wednesday they had them 'on sale' for 12
their ad had them 'on sale' for 10
so i pointed this out to them
they said they would fix it
so now i wonder how many people got ripped off
this week they have cans of hunts tomatoes on sale for a dollar a can
but i can get them at harris teeter for a dollar
walmart for 89 cents
or the commissary for 75
they had betty crocker cupcake mix for a buck, which is just half a box of cake mix
a whole box of cake mix is under a buck at the commissary and like a 1.10 at walmart
the stuff would be fresher too.
i noticed most of the name brand toys cost more too
most not by too much, just like 50 cents to a dollar
but they are supposed to offer 'closeout prices'
the linens and kitchen stuff are pretty well priced, but most of the kitchen appliances are off brand and really cheap looking
anyways
jonas insisted on getting coffee at starbucks this morning
first some older men decided that i jonas and hayley were not important and proceeded to order as if we were not standing in front of them
but the girl behind the counter pointed out we were first and the men grudgingly waited their turn
second the girl was a but confused when i ordered a 'short' coffee
a short coffee is an 8oz coffee
not many people no that :)
apparently not even the baristas
i changed it to a kid sized coffee, which is the same size, and i asked her to only fill it about half way with decaf
jonas was very happy with his half coffee half milk quarter sugar concoction
after we left starbucks he decided he wanted pancakes from mcdonalds
they are only 2 bucks so i didn't fight him
that took a lot longer than needed because the guy ahead of me refused to move forward to the second speaker box, ours has two but they rarely ever use the first one
because he refused to move forward, even after he was asked to, the speaker box he was at kept recording his order and it backed everything up
that was fun
time to get cleaning
then do sunday school with jonas :)
but first i think hayley wants to snuggle
