This time started at JC Penney in Ridgedale where we got three items, only one off a Christmas list. Make sure to watch the ads and take your coupons along – Penney’s is back to inflated prices with discounts since the fair-and-square realistic pricing fizzled out.
Then our annual Best Buy stop to knock two things off the lists. I’ve had excellent service experience at Best Buy, especially when we need info or have questions about something. But if you want to just browse and be left alone, don’t go to Best Buy – you’ll be like a deer wandering through a woods full of hunters.
Went over to our favorite second-hand place, Unique Thrift Store in New Hope, off Winnetka just north of Rockford Road. Got one more non-Christmas thing.
Then found the closest Batteries Plus to get a battery for a calculator that was almost as old as the clerk. Great service again – he quickly found not only the correct battery for me but was able to tell me I needed two of them. I was much, much happier when finally getting the microscopic screws out to open the calculator and find that yes, indeed, it took two batteries.
That was enough for the day so on the spur of the moment, we picked up a Papa Murphy’s bacon cheeseburger pizza and headed home. Does that happen to anyone else? The stretched out shopping, I mean – not the pizza.
