I am a consumer whore.

Today I went to the BIG LOTS! because [livejournal.com profile] bruisedhips had assured me that they had the Spicy Cheezits with Tabasco. The spice must flow so I went. She was right; that woman knows her discount stores. Because it was the BIG LOTS! I also ended up purchasing a set of Old Spice Red Extreme Climber Men’s Toiletries with Carabiner and Humor Value for [livejournal.com profile] xtreme_pr0k, some Spicy Spam with Tabasco for [livejournal.com profile] vegemitelover, some terrifyingly bad Panda Candy for [livejournal.com profile] redmaenad, and some German Organic Rye Kernel Bread in a plastic bag that is made of neutron stars and weighs a pound although it is the size of a Cheeto for [livejournal.com profile] friendly_bandit. It is the general consensus that I should stay away from the BIG LOTS! now.

I then went to Cost Plus World Market where I purchased green and jasmine tea, Thai spices, the double-salt Dutch licorice that only I can eat and live, a backscratcher ($1.49), and some soap.

By the way the Old Spice Red Extreme Climber Mens Toiletries smell just awful. Don’t open the box, just enjoy the joke.

The Borders cafe and Peet's coffee shops up here all have green/jasmine tea. It's nice, but I would rather have my Tazo Zen (green/spearmint). Unfortunately, I can only get that at home or by going to Starphucks.

Re: cost plus has it i think

Actually, plenty of places up here have it (I drive past Tazo's HQ on the way to the airport). It is just that the coffee-shop-type places I frequent do not...which makes me a sad monkey. Well, maybe not "sad," just "less than happy." I'm okay with the green/jasmine mix.

Are Cheezits puffy or crunchy?
