Sherry had some shopping questions on her blog yesterday. And may I say how cool it was to win a surprise from her! Thanks for letting me join the fun! I can’t wait to see what I get. : )
I’m a bargain shopper. The more percentage something is marked down, the more I want it! For example, I hit a 70% off sale at Peebles and got this big canvas of a rooster for my mom’s birthday for $3.00. I’m thinking I could buy the last couple of ones to recycle and do art on! They also have a limited edition Boyd’s bear named Peebles for about $8.00. (why are people putting *s in store’s names? Because of search engines? Like they would put in Pee*bles). Anyway, I think I’ll at least get a few more canvases.
1. Where is your favorite place to shop? Love stores like Tuesday Morning and T.J Maxx. Favorite dept. store is Kohls. Love all the craft stores, but Michaels takes the top place. Do not like grocery shopping unless I am buying ingredients for a special dish or am shopping at BJs Wholesale. And I love thrift stores and the Goodwill.

2. Would you rather shop on-line or in the stores? I like both. I utilize the internet more during the Christmas holidays. I do buy books throughout the year mainly through Amazon. And there is also eBay!

3. If you needed new undergarments, but you saw something that you didn’t really need, but just wanted, which would you buy?
I probably would! Underwear is so boring when you get to be my age.

4. What really annoys you about other shoppers?
People that don’t move out of a spot when they know you are trying to get by or want something in the area they are hogging. Those who talk on their blue rays and you think they are talking to you. Someone who picks up something you are about to pick up.

5. Have you ever got up to the checkout stand and had a ton of stuff in your cart and after they rang everything up you realized you didn’t have your money, check book, debit card, or credit cards? I usually have a few forms of payment. I have not had enough money, $5 or so, and have just taken a few things out of the cart so I wouldn’t have to use the debit card too.

6. If you buy something that isn’t necessary or something just for fun do you feel like you have to justify it to yourself or your partner? Not really unless it was pricey. I wish I could ‘just for fun’ buy a Ford Mariner. : )

7. Do you hide those unnecessary things for awhile and then later claim you’ve had them for a long time? No, that’s just silly. We discuss big purchases. And as I said, I usually hunt stuff down that’s on sale.

Have to do some food shopping later-oh joy!
I probably won’t be posting until late afternoon or so tomorrow as I will be getting mom from her surgery.
Has anyone else had allergy issues? They are saying it’s one of the worst seasons so far. I get the stuffy head, post nasal and then congestion in my chest.
