Shopping Adventures

Hello, This afternoon Leroy and I went shopping for a new humidifier. At the hardware store I was a bit shocked at the prices. The one which just broke was much cheaper than that. How many years has it been with us? I asked a store worker, “Will they go on clearance at the end of the season?” “They just store them and do not put them on clearance. This is a very busy season on them right now because so many homes are so dry. You could try our competitor next door as they sometimes have cheaper prices.” she replied. The store next door did have lower prices, but not on the cool mist that I would like to have. It was a nice warm day so we stopped to get the car washed. The first place was not working, broken part. However, their gas price was quite low for a few hours. Even though the gas tank was not so low we filled anyway. At the next place Leroy bought the ticket to get the wash. There we soon learned a car was stalled, blocking the entrance to the wash. The person who told us said she had been waiting for half an hour. Since the ticket was good until February we just went home. I had just filled my car last week so I did not need gas. I was sad because I had paid almost 50 cents more per gallon. On the up side we both have over 11,000 steps because we walked to church to help out there and did that shopping with long walks between the stores. I never park close if I can be farther away and get more steps. Paula
