Good good times! LOL- my cousin calls it the "used food store".
But seriously- last time I went they had Costco romaine packages for something insane like $1.
We love it, but 10 years ago it was easier to fine better deals, so now going there isn't as frequent an occurrence.
I am intrigued by this fabric dealing though…
I think I will have to go with my mom next week. :)

My mom's friend introduced our family to this store about 10 years ago. She referenced it as "the five hour store" because it takes you about that long to go through everything. I've been there a time or two. It does seem like a huge DI! But SCORE on the PB shelf! Makes me want to check it out again. i haven't been for about 5 years!

She was totally disgusted and I was laughing too hard trying to decide if the place was full of hobos or regulars in disguise. We found nothing decent or good. Maybe it's one of those "come all the time" until you find a winner. Glad you found a winner, winner, … chicken dinner!

Firstly, because you HAVE a sewing room and now you're flaunting awesomely amazing deals that I can not capitalize on. ;)

Go mid day…and go to the food section!!! If you still hate it…no worries all the more for me!! :)

One time, he came home with like 15 white bath towels. I told him white wasn't my color of choice, but they were a buck. So I couldn't complain too much.

They actually find great deals there all the time, but they say it takes a lot of patience. I've always wanted to check it out. I'll have to next time I'm in SL. Maybe I'll be lucky and they'll have another one of those!

Gonna check to see if they have one here in Atlanta. But isn't it awesome how things do a complete 90% turn on you? I remember in my younger days (back in the 80's – yeah, I'm old), I was a legal secretary and got fired. I was devastated!!! And embarrassed. I got fired on a Thursday, made an appointment with an employment agency for the next Monday, went on an interview Monday afternoon and got hired. Making $300 more each month! Talk about a shock! I had been so embarrassed and so devastated on Thursday, and less than 5 days later, I had a new job making $300 more each month. I know, I know…you're wondering what that has to do with your shopping expedition. Your 90% turn of events made me think of that experience that happened so many, many years ago. Okay, enough of that — I have to go so see if we have an NPS here. congratulations on scoring the PB shelving unit.

His mom *loves* NPS. She spends most of her free time there. We have been the recipients of more than our fair share of NPS crap. But, I'm glad you found a great deal! :)

Around our house we call that place "'Nother Piece o' $#it" I don't really know what the real acronym means.

I would like to know if the workers really know what all those rusted/greasy things even are?

Maybe I'll have to check it out. Then again, even the old DI stores give me the creeps- so maybe it wouldn't be good for me. Great score!

I've been shopping there for over 10 years. But never in the foods department. They have great fabrics for amazing prices when they have a sale. You have to go to a little room on the side. I'll go there for fabric and leave without fabric and a cart full of junk I could do with out. I try and only go a couple times a year and never with kids or the weekend.
