A Shopping Spree 05/07/25
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Local grocery store, C&R, is closing. Today they had everything in the
store for 90% off. We heard about it around 11am, and when we got
there it was nearly cleaned out. However, we got a cart full of stuff
for about $40 after the savings. We heard a lady came in earlier in
the day and had 6 carts of stuff... she saved $2800.
Sad to lose a local grocer (well, regional at least), but fun to have
a shopping spree experience. My wife thought I was crazy for
purchasing tons of paraffin wax (Gulf Wax, boxed, usually used for
canning), but that stuff has a ton of uses. It's normally $6/box
around here, and these were sixty-freakin-cents...
They had some SD cards by the batteries. Smaller 4G and 8G, not sure
why. Picked some up for a buck a piece. The rest was food and
household stuff, spices, some baking supplies, etc.
I'm happy to report that everyone shopping was courteous and friendly.
Saw a few people we knew there. Everyone should get a shopping spree
at least once, I think. It was fun.
