23rd December 2023
It was a bit of a rush around today, getting petrol, moving a piece of furniture out from storage to the garage to start work on, and taking pictures of the latest dresser.
The main event of the day was visiting the new Dollar General store.
Let me make it clear, I hate those places, I have to wear a disguise just to walk through the door.
It’s the place where things never get stolen, no one shoplifts from a dollar store. Can you imagine being attested for stealing something that costs a dollar? No thief could take the humiliation.
Anyway this store opened up in place of Blockbuster that has disappeared from the planet. We pass it all the time but never wanting to go in, until today. Kelli needed some sticky tape to wrap presents, and we couldn’t be bothered to go into the town. Once we entered this emporium of cheap shit, Kelli’s eyes lit up.
They do this every time we enter a store, but today was different. She found the tape but realised there were a lot more things she could get. Dog toys, dog bones were just some of things that went into the basket, followed by washing powder and a large bag of M&M’s.
Noticeable not everything was a dollar, which in my opinion is misleading, some were two and even three.
That is when we decided that we would go round the place separately buying crap for each other to put in our Christmas stockings.
I went round finding sweets and cheap stuff, I came across some “Gas relief” pills, I nearly got them but I was too embarrassed to take them to the checkout.
