You should've waited and gotten them where you know you'd have been happy! :-) sometimes Big Lots has some decent stuff but with their food I've found a lot past the expiration date and some of their other stuff I've bought there has torn up(dog beds for instance) I seldom go there now.Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09736403277973311615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-3911978022674927272011-04-19T16:54:37.988-05:002011-04-19T16:54:37.988-05:00@Duchesse, DP, and Funny--I think my impatience wo...@Duchesse, DP, and Funny--I think my impatience won out over frugality.

I al...Okay, let's see if this comment works...<br /><br />I also hate driving around through our homicidal traffic. But there are times when it's worth it, IMHO. When the product is something you're going to have to live with for awhile -- like those curtain rods -- it's probably worth it to drive across town to the more upscale stores to get style and quality that will last.Funny about Moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13188173788063351801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-44405081480500491992011-04-18T10:48:14.107-05:002011-04-18T10:48:14.107-05:00I agree!

Pay yourself minimum wage (here anyway) and dump the rods.<br /><br />It's a good rule of thumb to not buy anything you know in your heart is not satisfactory- and I've done it too!Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.com
