Do you look for certain brands when you shop? Or do you think generics are just as good?
There are some store brands that I like, but others that seem to be inferior. I would love to know which brands you think cannot be matched by a generic.
Tonight I put the kids to bed and then drove up to WalMart to buy their Easter baskets. Hubby was home, of course. I would never leave the kids in bed and then just go to the store with them left alone!!!!
Well, I was practically giddy with the thought of being in WalMart by myself! Unfortunately, the supply of Easter baskets was running low and they were so picked over, that I couldn’t find anything that I liked.
I ended up going to Target and finding the perfect baskets there. So the trip was a little longer than I anticipated, but it was a great success.
My new computer arrived today. I am so impressed! I ordered the computer on Dell’s web site on Sunday night, and it was on my doorstep this afternoon, thanks to Fed Ex and Dell’s quick shipping. I can’t wait to fire it up and install the software so I can set aside my laptop for travel and not for daily use. This is a good day!
Got up early this morning and wen to the last couple of stores to finish my shopping. The kids were happy to stay at home and watch cartoons, play video games, and lounge around the house with their dad while I went out.
The stores were not nearly as crowded as I expected. I think that people just don’t have as much money to spend this year and they don’t have all the credit cards and crazy high credit limits any more. So I breezed through the stores and got home in just a few hours.
Tonight will be the marathon gift wrapping session. I learned years ago to not put that off until Christmas Eve. It always takes longer than you expect and then you are up until dawn and too exhausted on Christmas morning to enjoy watching them tear up everything you worked so hard to make look pretty and enticing.
What a great idea! Matchmaker for lost gloves. It is so practical! I bet almost everyone can relate to the story.
