I've come to the conclusion JC Penney Outlet kinda sucks. And Family
Dollar is actually kinda great... I got a pair of nail clippers at
Family Dollar for only 50 cents. It's not a very big store, but if
you can't find something and ask, they almost always have it (within
reason).

On the other hand, the JC Penney "outlet" prices are not much cheaper
than the regular store. And their customer service sucks. And the
clothes are all out of order.

Must it be a battle between the two? There are things you get at
one store that can't be had at the other. I use the dollar store
too. Outlets are usually a bunch of crap from what I've seen,
although I'm not much of a shopper except for food, and shopping for
clothes and especially shoes really stresses me out.

When I shop I go kinda nuts and get tons of stuff, so I won't have to
do it again for a long time.

I have associates living in your area who are monitoring your
shopping schedule. On the day you come home with tons of stuff, that
will be the day my associates and I burst through your door and kill
you and whoever else is there and walk out with your stuff. If the
stuff is unusable, we're going to come back in and stomp your dead
flesh-shell into putty. Then we'll sell the stuff, if anybody is
stupid enough to buy it.

No! Don't take my $4 pillow cases! I was going to return them. I
don't think I can sleep with 100% polyester.

It's going to be hot and humid down here soon, and me without an
air conditioner. Aint complaining, I've never had one and don't want
one. But you're right, those polyester sheets are rough in the
summer. I got a throw blanket at the thrift store and use that on my
bed. Even though it's thick, it's cotton, and I don't stick to it
like I do the sheets. I hate buying stuff. I hate shopping. It's
not just the money, it's the hunt, I hate it.

I was looking on Amazon and saw some at a low price. Read the reviews
and they were not good. One lady wrote that they scratched her all
night long. She said do not buy these sheets-- unless you like
exfoliating in your sleep.

I mostly have flannel sheets and pillow cases. Which are great for
winter.

Just pretend you only have a month to live and you won't have to
worry about what happens in July.

Next time I buy sheets I will get the pricier and softer ones as my
ancient body cannot tolerate the scratchy dermatoligical contactiosis
of cheap polyester sheets.

Target had 100% cotton pillow cases for 9.99. They also had the
Classico seasonal Garden Vegetable I had been looking for... my
brother literally spent about 30 minutes trying to decide which
underwear to buy. (He apparently really hates tags that itch his
backside.) Since his bag did not arrive, he has only the underwear
he was wearing on the flight from SF and needed some more... When he
talked to the airline, the lady said they will authorize him to buy
necessities. He asked, what are necessities? She said, I can't
define that. He asked, clothes? She said, yes.

I hear Target sells Jerzees sweat shirts. I found one in an
all night laundromat years ago, my size, and tossed it in with the
wash and wore it for years. It was a light gold color and was
pebbled. Ever since I found that thing I've made it a point to look
for them whenever I go to a big store for something other than food.
Of course I have never seen one since. Probably one more item I liked
and they took away from the shelves. I need shoes bad. You have no
idea how much shopping for new things stresses me. You buy something
you like, if you have money to spare you better buy a bunch of it
along with a locker to store it in because you know damn well next
time you come back looking for it they're going to tell you they no
longer make them. I hate shopping for clothes, especially shoes for
my pounding exercise walks which are getting tougher by the day and
will probably cause a heart attack one of these days.

I know what you mean.

I wonder how much higher my blood pressure is when I drive
deliveries. It's kinda stressful at times.

Target does have Jerzees. I like those. Fruit of the Loom can lick
my balls. Fruit of the Loom sucks. Always shrinks. Target used to
sell Tall sizes. I liked those. I hate when a shirt is too short.
And for tshirts tall is good for bike riding so when I bend over no
one can see my ass crack.

I'll have to take a bus, it's pretty far. I'm not looking for the
regular sweat shirt, I'm looking for the pebbled one. It's lighter
yet warm enough even in the winter, yet light enough for summer
nights. I really liked that shirt. I wore it till the holes
outnumbered the threads.
