Anyhow, I avoid Walmart, mostly, it's not the discount store it used to be. I have found that these four stores are far cheaper, but you have to hunt, some of it's junk, but some of it's really good stuff, far cheaper than Walmart. My favorite budget stores are Dollar General, Big Lots, Dollar Tree and Goodwill. You can't always find what you need right away, but somehow it always turns up eventually. At Goodwill, (charity thrift store) I cruise them often for clothes, I don't need many, but I like nice stuff and this fits my current budget nicely. I can eventually find really nice clothes I like, that cost a fraction of what they did new.I found a designers $600 classic Trench coat for $20. Waterproof and lined for the cold. People always comment nicely when I wear it. It looked new, well cared for, had a dry cleaning tag on it when I bought it. Also, I check out Goodwill's other stuff, you would be surprised what has ended up in my motorhome from Goodwill. For instance I found a box full of assorted kitchen knives for only $2. Several were expensive chef knives, that merely needed a good sharpening. I found a great knife sharpener at Big Lots for a a third of what Walmart wanted. At Big Lots, I found a sturdy folding director's chair for the RV patio for $20, Walmart wants $67 and up. Dollar Tree had $1 doggy sweaters for my small pooch that gets cold below 70 degrees, also found $1 broom with dustpan, been using it almost a year now. <br /><br />Love your blog and thanks so much for visiting my rambling blog.DearMissMermaidDotComhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598961939363561237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712006273995114307.post-38057415955247831012010-12-10T07:18:25.527-05:002010-12-10T07:18:25.527-05:00Put a Vizio HD Led/Lcd in our 5th wheel bedroom, h...Put a Vizio HD Led/Lcd in our 5th wheel bedroom, have never seen a sharper or clearer picture, That's what will go in the living room before we fulltime, Thinking of a 42 in Vizio for there.Be safe out there.

They're nice once in a while.<br /><br />I wish I had the Vizio that I put in my last rig. The reception was much crisper than what I get in my present rig. Oh well, won't replace this one until it dies. :)Travels with Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411769980205792011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712006273995114307.post-51759804854352955912010-12-09T20:58:01.115-05:002010-12-09T20:58:01.115-05:00Looks like you got some good deals today, congrats...Looks like you got some good deals today, congrats!
