A little bit of satire, a little bit of truth – all in fun!
And another one bites the dust – Hallmark Closing BolingbrookPosted by murderous.intention on January 31, 2009
Seems all of Naper Blvd/Weber Rd in Bolingbrook is going to be empty pretty soon. First it was Circuit City who left and I didn’t even notice – months ago, next Bennigan’s – a news worthy closing it seemed, Applebee’s soon followed suit – hated that place, then it was Linens N Things – not [...]
My goodness it was a poo-tastrophe – but we were saved by The Unique BowtiquePosted by murderous.intention on January 28, 2009
While out and about today my DS had one of his little gassy spells, I nursed him for a bit and then there was the notorious rumbling and explosion noise that signals he has had a “movement”. Well it moved right out of his diaper and all over the place – DH was in [...]
WTF is the problem with people shopping at Meijer?Posted by murderous.intention on December 18, 2008
If you aren’t aware Meijer is a grocery store chain in the Midwest and tonight I had to return some slippers there that were marked on the tag 9/10 but were really a 5/6 – fine no big deal, no long line at customer service. DH and I decided to pick up a few things [...]
Oh Yeah – Another TJMaXX in the area – Plainfield ILPosted by murderous.intention on December 14, 2008
Route 59 is now a burgeoning shopping corridor, and right down Rt 59 they have now opened another TJMaxx. Tons of Sajen Jewelry, D&B Bags, and Coach Shoes. I also found some interesting pieces like women’s snowboarding boots, they have a far better clearance section in housewares – and they had the Thro Robe I [...]
Never Flush the Toilet with Your Foot!Posted by murderous.intention on December 13, 2008
Ever been to a Fry’s Electronics? They have a lot of Potty Rules so be ware.
I actually like this store, we have bought appliances here at very good prices, they have a lot of things that the whole family can look at. DS likes the video game section where he can play games while [...]
Oak Brook TJMaxx Saves the Day AgainPosted by Christopher.Kusek on December 12, 2008
Again, OB TJMaXX saved the day. Stopped by there because DH husband was in dire need of jeans. The man is a mammoth and really can’t find jeans anywhere at over six and half feet tall. He picked up two pairs of jeans on clearance for $12 each, and we even let DS get a [...]
If you want Designer TJMaxx Oak BrookPosted by murderous.intention on December 6, 2008
My tour of TJMaxx would not be complete without discussing Oak Brook. It is located next to the Nordstrom Rack which may explain why there is always an abundance of Coach, Dooney & Bourke, Juicy and other higher end purses on their racks. In fact I bought my favorite pink soft fabric Juicy Couture purse [...]
Woodman’s Market in North AuroraPosted by murderous.intention on
Foodies unite and shop. If you love good food and great deals you should probably head over to this 24 hour Employee Owned (whatever that means in the big scheme) Grocery.
Thanksgiving Dinner would not have been doable for 8 if not for here.
Turkey from Jennie O 14 lbs $24
Spiral Honey Ham 12 lbs $15
Potatoes [...]
TJMaxx Wheaton Store, Gold Mine for PresentsPosted by murderous.intention on
Well, I was desperate to find my MIL something for her birthday on Thanksgiving – that’s her B’day not the day I went shopping. So I hit the Wheaton TJMaxx. They have just undergone a remodel, new signs and shelves, higher prices it seems. What they have done that I can appreciate is organize their [...]
Target is right on Target for SavingsPosted by murderous.intention on
Yes, again I am not impressed by the local Bolingbrook Target so while I was out the other day in Oswego I stopped at Target. Again, walked away with some great deals.
Hubby got 2 shirts for $1.78 each with tax $5.05
I couldn’t find much because I was tired and hungry, but there were some great [...]
