Where Are You Shopping Today?

They are time consuming. I've always had very good customer service, and I enjoy walking around the upstairs.

For the last shop I did, I asked for a bonus. I got $10. I added the bonus to the reimbursement and bought something I could actually use. The fee went into my bank account.

Ugh. It took at least 45 minutes. They were more interested in straightening than assisting. The $10 reimbursement isn’t going to get you much there. I was thinking I’d get candles. They only have plain white candles. I think that I got my pretty candles at Pottery Barn. There’s not much there that I can’t get at Williams Sonoma. Luckily it was literally across the street from another shop. That’s why I took it.

I will not be able to get through this coronavirus scare if I don't have enough bananas to freeze for smoothies!

@SoCalMama - oh no. My only shop today is at Crate and Barrel. I was hoping to be in and out. Sigh.

My 5Guys delivery shop went mad sideways. I put the location (not my house) in the delivery app and arrived a few minutes early. I get an email from the delivery company that my food was there. The driver, whom I never saw, took a picture of the order on a pile of trash!

That was an interesting report.

I hope yours went better than mine.
I’ll never do one again. It’s like working for less than minimum wage, and the annoyance was just a free bonus.

Today is a chicken lunch take out and a sports bar.

Dash In and bank.

The price of regular gas has dropped from $2.55 a couple of days ago to $2.29 here. And, that is just the first wave of price cuts as the Saudis and the Russians have just begun to ramp up their price war by increasing production. That fuel supply has not even hit the US yet, nor has any US production yet been delivered at new lower prices.

With my grocery store rewards card I got another 20 cents a gallon off of my gas today. If I had gone on a Thursday, the station would have reduced the price by 5 cents a gallon. When you start thinking about those reductions as 10% or more of the posted price it's startling, it me. (Plus half of my fuel charge will be reimburses for the shop, as well as all of my lunch and a little fee.

I finally snatched one of those google pay shops. I've been trying to get them for months! Today I finished some shop reports. I did a phone call for Xfinity and started scheduling some shops for April. I picked up two more apartment shops for next week when I'm out of town again.

The insomnia sandwich shops are the ones that are between 11pm and 6:59am. I do them early morning to take advantage of my insomnia.

On my way home on Sunday, there were a whole bunch of deer near my house. I'm going to back off on these shops until it is light out at that time.

A video valet parking shop, walk from there to a Milk Bar shop; then 2 more garages (walk from one to a deli lunch, not MS) on my way to check in for a hotel overnight, with a room service dinner.

How was milkbar? I want to try them out one day

Everything seemed to have cereal mixed in with it. No real ice cream at all. If you go to their web site and read the menu, you will see what I mean.

Ugh. The menu looks great for a 4 year old.

I'm doing a Raising Canes shop drive thru later. On duty all day but I managed to get a church's chicken delivery to work for lunch. Food was really not great, but I was planning on splurging on a delivery of some kind anyway so it at least saved me money there.

My sports bar today was awesome! The restaurant has a new menu, so rewards members were given $10 to try it. I usually do a bar shop early in the week to take advantage of Happy Hour. I ate in the restaurant today. With my discount, I came in well under reimbursement, left a hefty tip, and brought home a big doggie bag.

A couple of video parking shops with minimum contact. Hand wipes in my car; easy access to hand washing at the venues.
