Note to Everyone Else: About my going to the Giant tonight
Dec 4th, 2007 by Brian
There is no food in my house so it is merely coincidence that the forecast calls for 1 - 2 inches of snow and I have to go to the grocery store.
Update: Costco is the same as Giant, right? Because that’s where I ended up tonight. In some ways it’s a lot better than Giant or Safeway because the “impluse items” are like 42″ LCD TVs and iPods and believe it or not I actually have a dollar amount threshold preventing me from making purchases like that. Of course, there was very little in the way of a spending speed bump to stop me from walking out of the store with the biggest freakin’ snow and ice scraper you’ve ever seen in your life. It’s a bit ridiculous. But sturdy!
Anyways, trading the potentially long lines at Giant for the assured and usual long lines of Costco means I don’t know if the shelves of my local supermarkets are now barren, stripped clean of milk and bread and toilet paper. But, maybe I’ll find out tomorrow. Because even with all of it’s oversized wonderfulness, shopping for food, for one, just doesn’t work out well there (you end up eating taquitos for weeks and weeks). So it looks like I’ll be braving the snow covered streets in search of small quantity staples. Maybe I’ll even make a salad.
