Shopping Spree

In preparation for going back to school in 3 days, :grin: I went on a shopping spree today. Well, other people might just consider it normal shopping for a few hours, but since I hate shopping and rarely go, I designated it as a spree. Especially since I spent a couple of hundred bucks :frown: I got new sneakers (can finally retire my old ones which I have run down every last piece of padding and support), new sandals, clothes, 4 months supply of toiletries/meds, lock for my front gate and those new-TSA approved locks so I can actually lock my luggage.
Funny story about getting the meds: I tried to buy 2 packages of the store-brand DayQuil and 2 packages of the store-brand NyQuil. Well, when the 4th package was scanned, it came up with an error, and a notice printed on the receipt. It was a friendly message from Drug-Free America that I couldn't buy 4 packages of decongestant, since I was obviously going to make drugs out of it, or try and kill myself by OD'ing. :???: So the manager had to come over and explain to me why I couldn't buy 4 packages of decongestant at once. Her GED-education didn't prepare her for trying to comprehend that I have access to narcotics/paralytics/various other controlled substances (actually at both jobs), so a little cough suppressants in my hands would not be all that big a deal. Still refusing, I just took my 4th box of decongestant and checked out at another register at the other end of the store without any problems. grrr.

Edit: Crap. Only 2 days left. Better start packing.

Well it was one of those Super-centers so there were literally 40 checkout lanes, so I just went to the other end and didn’t see the original checker or manager. Though that would have been fun. :smile:
