I try my best to avoid all stores! I hate to shop. If you were to happen upon me out and about it would be at our County CO-OP, Lowes or Wal-Mart. My wife works at Wal-Mart and I hate to shop there. I usually just call her and say we need the following stuff and she usually gets it right and it shows up when she gets home - neat!

LOL. Unless I am in a certain frame of mind, I hate to leave home. One of the few chores Hubby doesn't mind is getting groceries.

I make out a list, and he sticks to it better than I do.LOL.
Once or twice a year I get out just to see what's new, and get XMAS stuff.

About 45 years ago, we had moved to a small town and Hubby was teaching science. I was a stay at home mom, and he always went to get groceries. We lived just a little way out of town, so there were almost no neighbors to see me either. We were so poor, that we wouldn't even splurge on a 25 cent ice cream cone, and never went to town to eat out or anything.

People at school began to make jokes about whether I really existed. On prom night, (he was senior class sponsor) when we walked in, all talking ceased, and everyone just stared as we came in and sat down. I was sort - of embarrassed.LOL.

I love shopping at the War Surplus stores here and was at one this morning buying new cutlery for our Church rather then waste my time sharpening the rejects of members past.

War Surplus store = Dollar discount type stores
