Looting and Burning Tonight

[stoutfellow]

The former Shop'n'Save will be closing for good Sunday evening. (Rumor has it Hobby Lobby will be taking the space.) Many of its shelves are empty, and what's left is all on sale. I needed to buy a jug of milk, so I stopped off on the way home from work. I bought... more than milk, and probably would have gone even further if I'd had more carrying capacity than a shoulder bag. A packet of sharp cheddar, a couple of frozen dinners, and a pint each of Haagen-Dazs Coffee and Ben & Jerry's Vanilla Caramel Fudge. (The ice cream was 50% off, and I resisted temptation as much as I could.) I felt kind of like a barbarian picking through the ruins of a conquered city. (The cashier did not find this remark amusing, sad to say.)

Next week, I'll have to switch over to the other Schnucks. Blah.
