My husband loves sales. He loves to shop but add the word “sale” and he turns into a shopping monster.
Big Lots is having a 20% off sale today. That used to be my least favorite store but I think it’s because the closest one to us was in Joplin and there was so much to do when we went to Joplin, that walking up and down every aisle didn’t fit into our plans. Here, we have very few places to shop and it’s just a few miles from home so I don’t mind going. I might mind buying this much stuff but shopping with Vince . . that’s just what happens!
Sandy says
Wow! Vince bought out the store! There is a small Big Lots a few miles from me, but I rarely shop there unless their ad offers something I need at a really good price. I don’t go just to walk up and down the aisles looking for something to buy.
Judy Laquidara says
They have fun things in the cooking section. That’s where I mostly shop.
Linda Steller says
Holy smokes! I hope you were speed shopping up and down the aisles to get that much stuff. I thought of you the other day Judy. My sister is back east caring for my Aunt for two weeks. They were at the grocery store, my Aunt Ethel’s big weekly joy. They had been there for an hour, and Aunt Ethel had three aisles under her belt, only about thirty more to go. Poor Ginny stepped out for some air and called me on the cell phone for something to do. I imagine she was about to spontaneously combust! What a trooper! ;D
Liz says
Curious me – what did y’all buy to get that long of a receipt? Canning stuff? Toys for the chickens? Or are you already looking for grandbaby items? Hmm…. oh and i found out that i will be a great-aunt come January, so I guess i better start sewing a bunch of little quilts!
JudyL says
Vince bought a big box fan and I bought a piece to hang on the bedroom wall. Coffee, black olives, coconut milk, rice mix, chips, cookies, crackers . . no baby stuff. No canning stuff the first trip (and the long receipt is from the first trip) but the second trip, I did buy some canning jars. They only had regular mouth and I prefer wide mouth but I did buy some because of the price.
I’m sure we bought more stuff but that’s all I can remember.
NancyB says
Good job, Vince. You are growing the national economy, single-handed.
Peggy says
I have never had a cash register tape that long…….not in a grocery store nor in a fabric store. Good thing Vince is still working! lol
Harriett says
You Go Vince!!
Jennifer says
They must have had green shirts on sale 😉
Kris says
Wow! That’s the longest receipt I’ve ever seen!
Carol Victory says
He can never say anything about your yarn and fabric purchases. He makes you look like an amateur!
Dee Dee says
Did you get your chair?
Frieda says
I sure am glad I don’t have to find a place for all the stuff he buys. We would have to add on if we bought like Vince does. Can’t wait to see some of your knitting. I finished the veil and am now knitting on an easy shawl.:)Frieda
Angie says
That is a super long receipt! May I ask what is on the receipt? I can barely see the corner of the cart in the picture, and I don’t see much in it, it all must be on the counter, or very large items.
Linda in NE says
Vince is only doing what he can to help the economy!! We may laugh about his love of shopping, but it’s good to know that there are still people with good jobs who can afford to shop like that. And really, when you think of all the things he could be spending money on…drinking, smoking, gambling, drugs, chasing women :)……his joy in finding a bargain is really a small thing. It would be different if he was spending recklessly and driving you into debt, but somehow I don’t see either one of you doing that.
Linda Steller says
You know, I was thinking, has Vince had a change of color now that you’ve moved to Texas? I think it’s been quite a while since I’ve seen a green tshirt!
carol c says
OMG, I have never in my life had a register receipt that long, even when I had an inheritance-lol
Shout4Joy says
we didn’t have such a long receipt…but we did take advantage of the 20% off sale this weekend, too 🙂 We got some chairs for our patio 🙂
patti says
wish i’d knon sooner, there was a 15% or maybe it was 20% off coupon on their website good for only that day. score!!!
Karin says
WOW, that is a long sales receipt! Wish we had a Big Lots around here 🙂
I hate to say this, but I watched an episode of ”Hoarders” last night and the guy on there looked like he could be Vince’s brother!
