Do you love a bargain? I sure do. Just a couple of weeks ago my wife found a bargain website that she has really fallen in love with. The website is called nomorerack.com, and almost every day she is buying something from that website. Just a few minutes ago she purchased three cardigan sweaters for $10 each that would have normally cost around $40 each. How can you resist a shopping bargain like that?
Of course it helps that she really DOES need some new sweaters, since she has recently gained some weight and all of her “old” sweaters no longer fit her. I don’t have a big problem with that, she has always been underweight, and now she is finally getting some meat on her bones. And most of her “old” sweaters really ARE at least ten years old. I’ve never known anyone take such good care of their clothes that they seem to last forever! We’ve bookmarked their page, and signed up for their email so we get a notice every day what the next day’s bargains will be. We like that feature a lot – getting some advance notice of sales is a good thing!

I think that I have decided to get a new credit card. My favorite store, Ann Taylor, has started offering free shipping off of their website if you use your Ann Taylor credit card. I have only had one credit card since I was sixteen years old. My parents always warned me never to get a credit card. They said that I should only use it for emergencies. They said that if I couldn’t buy something straight out, I didn’t need it. Anyway, I always use my clear wireless internet Reading connection to log onto Ann Taylor.com and do some shopping. They usually have a greater variety of sizes and have great sales. The shipping though is usually a flat ten dollars and fifty cents. That really is a pretty good bit of money. Unless I am going to order a lot of things ( over hundred and fifty dollars worth), ordering on-line doesn’t really make sense to me. I think that I am going to think really hard about getting the credit card. I think that I will use it a lot, get free shipping, and can turn around and pay off my account as soon as I use the card.

I thought I’d write a post about what I think about the three “big” fast food chain restaurants that I frequent. All in all, I like the French fries and McDonald’s the best, if I can get them HOT. That has been the biggest problem I’ve had with McDonald’s, the French fries I get are frequently COLD, and then that is disgusting. Their chicken sandwiches are pretty good, too. Their burgers, well, I don’t like them. I’ll eat them if I have to, but I don’t like them. So when I go there I usually order a chicken sandwich and fries.
For burgers, my favorite burgers are Burger King burgers. I LOVE the char-broiled taste! But their fries are pretty nasty, even if they ARE hot. So I’ll order the onion rings instead! They are pretty good, and neither McDonald’s nor Wendy’s sells onion rings. Their chicken products have way too much pepper in them and every time I forget and order some chicken from them I regret it.
Now Wendy’s, I like to go there and order their baked potato! Their burgers are better than McDonalds, and their chicken sandwiches are good, too. Their fries are acceptable, but I do NOT order Sprite to drink because their Sprite is always super NASTY! So I have to order root beer instead, which is ok, but I would prefer Sprite if it tasted the right way! I do wish that Wendy’s had milk shakes, their Frosty’s just are not that great a substitute!
