Shop till you drop

I went a little (more than usual) crazy today

I had no real intention of doing anything specific, but I thought I'd pop to REI to see if they had a jacket suitable for my upcoming Canadia visit.

I kind of went a little crazy in there buying a whole new outfit, and the old Master card took a bit of a hammering. But, I was invited to join some club thing, which gives you some crazy discount off stuff that no one else wants

So, inspired by my recent retail success, I saw a Ross. I love Ross, it has really cheap stuff; and often has like proper brand stuff, but it might be 'last season' kind of stuff. So it's a great place to pick up some awesome bargains.

I got a nice new griddle, and splatter guard...ooh, and some nice containers (stainless steel things). A couple of nice bowls (wooden....ya know, for fruit and stuff).

So I was just heading home, and I thought I'd just take a quick spin through the retail park to see if anything jumped out at me as inspiration for lunch, and what do I see.....OMG.....William Sonoma!

It's one of my favorite stores! A definite must for the kitchen/cooking enthusiast.

So after all that, I finally make it home, laden with bags full of lovely goodies, and a Credit Card feeling a little heavier

On the up side.....think of all the air miles I just earned!

Ah well, that's pretty much the entire January budget gone.....but you know what.....you can't take it with you, right?
