- Marshall's, Ross, TJ Maxx - There are probably a few more but you get the idea. I will not rummage for clothes. I feel like I'm in the Dollar Store when I'm in there.
- Dollar Store - Speaking of the Dollar Store...I went to my first one a few months ago. First of all, it was no cheaper than Target. Second of all, when I walked out (empty handed) I felt dirty. Literally. The floors had visible dirt on them.
- Ikea - It is a prison. I walked in and was trapped. You have to follow these arrows. There are no doors. You are led to see everything they sell before you are allowed out. I literally felt like I was being released from prison when I saw daylight. I did see a bookshelf I will probably buy for Jake's playroom but it will be bought online and delivered to my door.
- Target - Now I have mixed feelings about this place. I do go on a regular basis. I get diapers and toys there (in all honesty I have probably bought Jake 5 or less toys in his life so far including the Cragslist wagon). All other sections just feel like a totally mess with crazy people and their loud kids wandering around aimlessly. Yes, I now have a child but we have not had a public meltdown to date so he is allowed in stores with me. He gets weirdly excited about riding in carts...
- Vacations - Now, this is not a store but the same idea applies. I will search for deals on flights and hotels but once I'm there I do not want to be worried about spending money. I want to enjoy everything the place has to offer. I do not want to cook. I don't eat out much now that I don't work so on vacation I'm eating out. One reason we passed on going to Hawaii a few years ago was that I wanted to stay a long time and do it all. Instead we went to San Fransisco for a week and had a blast. We will be in Hawaii soon doing it the right way :).
