Fun Outings

An extra day off from work! I love three day weekends. I feel like I have really have enough time to sleep, clean, cook, and completely relax. Dennis actually gets to spend time with the real weekend Ann, or "Fun Bobby," as he likes to call me.

"Fun Bobby" used to mean that I would go out with him in the evening for drinks, dinner and dancing. Now it means I take him to Walgreen's.

Walgreen's has become one of Dennis' preferred spots to hang out. And it doesn't bug me like Burlington Coat Factory. First of all, there are no clothes to speak of at Walgreen's. Sure, they have a few odd and end slippers, and t-shirts, but nothing that a person could look at for hours on end. Secondly, they have a little bit of almost everything a person needs, so there is plenty to look at. Thirdly, they truly have some great deals.

For instance, since Dennis has been struggling with his weight, he has been drinking a supplement. There are two name brands out there - Boost and Ensure. They both cost around 1.25 a serving. Walgreen's carries it's own brand. It costs about 0.75 a serving. Dennis says it tastes the same, so we may as well go with the cheaper brand.

Then they have close-outs all of the time. Today, there was a close-out on SanDisk 512 MG. They were selling it for 10.00. We both use the disk in our cameras, so of course we purchased one. One of will use it sooner or later.

But Dennis' favorite place to hang is the end of the aisle clearance heap. Walgreen's literally piles the extra stuff on the end caps, and if you are willing to hunt you may find something that is a real bargain. I know, Target and other stores do the same, but no place I have ever been beats Walgreen's on end cap reductions.

So, once or twice a month, Dennis and "Fun Bobby" head to Walgreen's, buy our essentials, and spend a fair amount of time at the end caps of the aisles. Hey, what ever turns you on, right?

Until Tomorrow,
Ann and Dennis
