from 2023 in ( life / home-garden / blog / shopping )

Went to Home Depot today for one of those door-closer things for screen doors. I'd left ours propped open all night by accident, and the wind weakened its hinges.

CASH BACK

A VISIT TO WALMART
from 2011 in ( life / money / shopping )

I hate Walmart. It's a company run by slimy executives who don't care about the mom-and-pop businesses they destroy, and its stores are frequented by the lowest class of people. I always feel the need for a shower afterward. But, this morning it made more sense to go there because they were the closest place that I thought would sell Frontl... read more

from 2010 in ( life / money / blog / shopping )

Just got back from an all day shopping excursion. I don't know how Tara does it every week. I told her that was harder work than going to the office all day. She said, So, you appreciate me more now?
