DOLLAR TREE
While out shopping with Raymond today, we got sucked into a Dollar Tree store (very similar to the 99 cent store) - and let me tell you, "sucked in" was the operative word.
Raymond: Should I get this?
Victor: See, the downside to a store like this is that you start thinking everything is SO CHEAP, but it's still a dollar each. These little trickets we're holding right now cost a total of four dollars already.
Raymond: Yeah, but if you need this stuff, it's a real steal.
Victor: That's the thing. You HAVE TO, HAVE TO, HAVE TO ask yourself, "Do I really need this?" before buying it. If you do, then I'm all for it. But if not, chuck that thing back where it came from.
We walked out of there with: a pair of sunglasses, a fake Swiss army knife, a small frying pan, a spatula, and two rolls of tape.
The moral of this story? Apparently, we REALLY NEED all kinds of trinkets!?!
