Where do you store your reusable shopping bags
Comments (30)Most of mine live in the car. I live in a condo, so I'm not making a special trip out to the car (down a flight of stairs, out the building, and walking halfway around the building to the assigned parking spot) just to put the bags back. I fold them so they all fit in one bag, then hang them on the doorknob of the front door and take them out to the car the next time I leave. I have one bag hanging in the broom closet for returnable bottles, which I mostly remember to take with me when I head to the supermarket. I return the bottles and then use the bag for groceries. I have a small nylon bag, that is the size and shape of a plastic grocery bag, that folds up into its own little pouch. That lives in my handbag, ready for any spontaneous, impromptu purchases....See MoreWhere Do You Shop For Clothes?
Comments (22)All of you are great! I so much appreciate your sharing your thoughts with me and I have a "sort-of" plan! I live in NC, in a very rural area. Walmart is the only game in town for close-in, but that outlet mall I mentioned is about 25 miles away, pretty accessible. And especially now that I'm retired and can shop when the entire rest of the world isn't there. So first I'll go over there and check out what I can find. Another ten miles or so and I can go to Sears, Penney, Belk. There's a big and relatively new shopping center in Durham with, I believe, a Nordstrom and heaven knows what all else. I've been there only once because every time I get ready to go some kind of violent crime seems to happen there, I get scared, and I stay home! (Mind you I haven't made plans but a very few times, so I guess it's not that often, but still...) Beyond that we're talking a 50-mile expedition to more urban areas. I'm not sure I want anything bad enough for all that! Sometimes I can fit nicely into junior sizes, if I could find any that didn't look like they're for somebody maybe 13 years old. At this point, I really don't need an applique of Tweety Bird on my butt! All this would be a lot easier if I had a little "fluff", if you know what I mean... kayjones, I love you! All these years I've been a Goodwill shopper on a regular basis, it's the only place I can find jeans that fit and that's what I've worn to work for years! And I've found lots of other things, too, believe me! Plus, it's my go-to place for books. I know where all their stores are within a 30-mile radius. But Goodwill is sort of a hit-an-miss proposition, maybe you find something, maybe you don't. So here's the deal: I'm checking out that outlet mall again. Then I'm going the extra miles to some of the other stores--I know I can find a Nordstrom and a Macy's, a Belk, Penney, and Sears. And I'll check on-line as well, though really, you need to be able to try things on and touch the fabric and all that. One store's size two is another store's size gazillion, it seems. I will report back and let y'all know how it's going!...See MoreWhere do you like to shop on line that is unique?
Comments (21)I like overstock.com they have a great shipping price and a lot of stuff. I like Truly Texan it has several Texan companies and artist all linked there in one place. Truly Texan WE have done a lot of smoked meats gifts between family and a couple of the places we like are Farm Pac New Branfels Smokehouse Oakridge Smokehouse Gifts I get their catalogs and just drool over all the wonderful stuff they have in there. Everything we have ever ordered was great. I ordered more from that last one oak ridge. for Cajun I go with this place, in fact I have some of their food in my freezer right now. It is all Good La Boucherie they have a store front here near my house! I love to give and also receive unique cookbooks especially ones from small towns, church cookbooks, jr league, clubs etc. I have found a lot of those at Cracker Barrel. this right here is one of my very fave ones, I have given it as a gift so many times and everyone thanks me many times for it. I am surprised it is still available I got it long long ago. It is by the Jr League of Lake Charles, LA. Pirate's Pantry: Treasured Recipes of Southwest Louisiana I also have most of those others shown on that Amazon page. The river road series and the best of the best ones are very good. a couple of other online stores I have used are RedEnvelope, DesignToscano, and Maggies Pharm, I have ordered from Maggie for so many years. I used to go to the store when I lived in Memphis, was so glad when she went online. Amazing stuff. My fave is the china musk and china rain Body Silk. Maggie's Pharm...See MoreWhere do you grocery shop most of the time?
Comments (64)I only noticed one person specifying where they buy wine. We buy ours at Beverage Warehouse, which is very close to us and easy to get to - less than 10 minutes, and just off of the Marina Freeway. They have an excellent selection of wines, and so we stock up when we go there, which is maybe once every two months. We do not always have wine with meals, but there are certain times when we do. Our favorite wines are Sangiovese, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir, and Côtes du Rhône (both red & white). We also keep Cabernet Sauvignon on hand but it is not really a favorite. I mention this because I have noticed that in certain parts of the country, wine is not available in grocery stores. I think I noticed this in Philadelphia - at least we were directed to a specialty liquor store when we were there. I also remember that in Washington State, one had to go to a state owned liquor store, similar to what I had to do in British Columbia. In BC, the government would threaten to have liquor strikes, and so everyone would rush to buy out all of the inventory, and then the government would decide not to have the strike after all - probably because they had all of their inventory cleared out, which may have been the reason for threatening to have the strike in the first place. I remember going to a special liquor store in Salt Lake City, but I don't remember whether grocery stores in St. George had wine or not. I would expect Utah to be a bit strict about this. When I was growing up in Texas, counties were either wet, dry, or damp, and I grew up in a damp county, meaning that you could buy beer and wine, but liquor was illegal, unless an incorporated city decided to legalize it. Harker Heights, just outside Ft. Hood decided to legalize it and grew tremendously because of that. I think that this has all changed by now, however....See Moredeegw
