I've never been able to walk out of a store without spending $100 bucks. At Walmart today, I got a bag of cat food, a bag of dog food, a toy on clearance for 9 bucks, a boat battery and 2 things of oil, a birthday card and a bag of Rasinettes. $144.00. Did you know a small boat battery holds a price of $78? Plus a core charge of $9? I didn't until recently. Casey had a gift card that helped out little. After that, we had to go to Lowe's for some air conditioner duct work. 25ft of thin, shiny, insulated tubes was about $65. I love that store. While we were there I picked up a nice size rug to go on my living room floor. This rug matches NOTHING I have. It's pink with little roads and houses on it. Really cute. There's a bakery store on there that looks like a big cake with a cherry on top. Kara said it was "Cupcake Mountain". I love her imagination. The rug was only 20 bucks and if it helps protect the carpet underneath, then it will be well spent. We added a roll of duct tape to our cart. At the check out, I wrote a check for UNDER $100. I couldn't believe it. It wasn't much under 100, like 96 or something. It was time to go home. On the road behind the Ruston Walmart. they have all kinds of new shops open. One was a pet store. We had to stop. They had the cutest little English Bulldog pup in there. His price was $2,110. Guess what I got! Nothing! Not a thing. I managed to walk out of a store without spending a penny. I'm still amazed at the price of dogs in there. The Yorkie was over grand and now that I think of it, none of the dogs there were under 500. They even had kittens that looked just like mine for $25. Kitten, anyone? And I won't charge you a thing. But they come in pairs. We made it home finally. It was late and we were hungry. I sent Casey back to town for Chinese. It about $15 for 2 take outs. After we were full and bloated, we crawled under the house to put the tube on. It was good fun. I feel a lot poorer today. I need a j0b.
Just seeing what this map thingy looked like.
