Ok.
I'm addicted to Big Lots.
I used to work right near one when I lived on Florida's East Coast. I hated it. Everyone I worked with would go in there on their lunch breaks and come back with their purchases. Things like baskets. Or Christmas decorations. Or something plastic with absolutely no longevity. I would go in there to buy Cokes, because a 20 oz bottle was only something like .88. But it frustrated me 1) because it was a shithole, and 2) "next in line" sometimes meant the person behind me.
But things have changed as of late. First I scored the Talking Rummy (who by the way costs $29.99 online and only cost me $5 at Big Lots). Tonight, I went back to my nearest Big Lots and spent $18 on all kinds of things - nicer quality office supplies, if you will. And to top everything off - yes, the line system is still kind of nutty (but it worked in my favor tonight) - it was a clean Big Lots.
Good enough for me.
Overheard by saleswoman #1: "Lloyd came from out of town. He's the big time. He threw us a pizza party."
Whatever it takes, Lloyd. Keep it up.

I am so loving your blog lately. Your inner sassy self is emerging and I LOVE IT.
More Madge, please!
Is there a 24-hour Madge station on cable?
I am oh-so-flattered.
Really!
You're like, the most popular Blogger I know. And you love me. You want me all the time.
Just the way I feel about you.
ah, the big lots insanity.
i love this: "it frustrated me 1) because it was a shithole" - HAHAHA! :D
did you know you can find tom's of maine products at big lots? of course, they're mostly discontinued products - weird flavors like "ginger hibiscus" or some such nonsense. though i was able to score some fairly normal "peppermint" last time i frequented the joint.
Big Lots. You're right: it's a joint. I will have to look for Tom's of Maine next time (ahem, tomorrow?!); I love that product line. Especially the licorice herb toothpaste - I could suck it right out of the tube.
Mmmm.
haha, that's like me and... well... pretty much everything/where. Tonight, it was Snickers: i bought my first one. i ate my first Snickers earlier this term, but bought one tonight from the vending machine.
with my new mothafuckin meal points!! yeah!! (read my ever-so-short post for slightly more info)
anywho... yay for cheap shit... although drinking toothpaste is pretty foul, hun.

I LOVE BIG LOTS.
But not as much as I love you.
Meghan - not if the toothpaste is Tom's I tell you! Well...what do you think of Snickers?
Tits - This is true. It's the same for my affection toward you. Big Lots cannot compete with you!
