Thanks Molly.
I love shopping with QVC. I have always had a good shopping experience with them.
The price is good on this item.

I got several signs, some yard flamingoes, some new patio lights, and that little 2-foot Tiki guy with the solar-powered green eyes. Kinda freaky to look out in my pool area and see those lighted eyes.C-Dawg wrote:Big Lots has a lot of Tiki signs, grass skirts and other tailgating gear out right now

I found the seasonal Jell-o at Kroger's today! It was in a little stand rather than in with the rest of the jello.

Checked at a couple Giant Eagle stores today. They said it should come out within the next week.
Yes, last year it was in a separate cardboard display.

Big Lots is another fun store to visit.
At Christmas time they had a santa in shorts and a t-shirt laying on a hammock tied to two palm trees. When you pushed a button the hammock swayed and it played Alan Jackson singing 5 O'Clock Somewhere. Would have prefered JB singing it but I still liked it.
There was only the display model and it wasn't in the best of shape or I would have bought it. I kept checking but they never got more in.
Did anyone see it also?

I'm getting ready to paint my tiki deck and have plans to really decorate it up for the season. So I will check there for signs.
Also want to put up some more flamingos around the trees in the front yard. Couldn't find them anywhere else. So will stop at the store week. Thanks.

Re: 2009 SPRING/SUMMER SHOPPING REPORT
I am confused---the flipflops that are at Burke's Outlet are Caribbean Soul by Margaritaville.
I can't find anything on the internet about the CS shoes, maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

Re: 2009 SPRING/SUMMER SHOPPING REPORT
How many of you have a grocery store that offers a gas perk point program??
Here in the Pgh PA area two of our grocery chains Giant Eagle and Shop N Save offer it. There are probably others but these are the ones I'm familiar with.
Giant Eagle has now started selling the turnpike EZ pass. You can buy it at the customer service desk and load the amount you want onto the pass. I can get the gas point perks on that purchase.
Since the store also sells a large variety of restaurnat gift cards I will pick up some for restaurants I know that will be located in the areas I will be traveling. So I bought cards for Cracker Barrell, Bahama Breeze, Cheeseburger In Paradise, Olive Garden, McDonalds.
Not only is it one stop shopping. It is smart shopping. I figure I'm going to be spending the money for the turnpike tolls and if I know I am going to be eating in certain restaurants anyway why not get the credit towards my gas points. In the end it all adds up to money saved that can be used at the event we're traveling to. It's saved me money. I hope it helps you to.

Re: 2009 SPRING/SUMMER SHOPPING REPORT
I bought a ton of those last season and "sent them flying" at every concert we went to... I put my name on them, and also Buffettnews on them. I wonder how many people checked it out....KruzinParrots wrote:Beach balls with the junior mint logo on them?? How cool. I didn't see those in our stores here. I'll go back and check.
