Hoarding

I love the two major big, huge discount stores. You know which ones I'm talking about. That's right the big "W" and the big "T". (I can't say the names or I'll get goose bumps) I'm like a kid in a candy store when I go inside. There are always so many good deals and I feel like I'm supposed to take advantage of as many of them as I can. Whenever I go into one of those stores I spend at least and that's just at least $100. In other words, those stores make me want to hoard.

Tomorrow I must visit the big "W". I generally like to purchase cleaning and laundry supplies there. I believe these items are less expensive than they are in the grocery store, and they are value packaged. Believe it or not the last time I was in the big "W" was in July, and I was buying these items. These are the items on my list. I hope I can go in there and stay true to the list. But it's so hard. There are too many things in the aisles. For example, why are there batteries on the way to the personal care items? If I see them, I may think, "Oh, an 8-pack of batteries for $1.99. That's not bad. Let me get 2 or 3 of them." And you know I probably don't even need batteries.

All right. I'm publishing the list in hopes that my blogging will make me accountable. This time there are a few other items on the list that we use that were not on sale at the grocery store.

dark woolite (someone told me that this stuff really works. We'll see)
