2010 Shopping Report

[SAVANNAH BEE]

Oh well, I'm finding all kinds of new places to shop for parrothead stuff...this Buffett News is awesome!!

[Anne Bonny]

Margaritaville brand is often carried in your regional food stores. Here in Iowa, that is HyVee. They carry chips, salsa and hummus. (who knew Jimmy made hummus?) Haven't seen the tea yet tho. You may want to check out similar stores in your area (like Dierbergs in St Louis?)

Hummus? Bubba is selling hummus? Cool!

[KruzinParrots]

I hadn't heard about the hummis either. Just knew about the chips salsa, chicken and seafood etc.

I'll be on the look out for that as well.

What a great time to be a Parrothead......Not that there is ever a bad time of course!!

On the way back from work today I had to go to the mall. As I was walking past Claires I looked in the window and on a display on the left side of the doorway I noticed food themed earrings. Yup you guessed it......they have

Cheeseburger earrings

Better yet they are only $6.50 a pair.

They are so cute. Just a small pair of dangles.

Other food items were: pizza, hot dogs, french fries.

Just returned from Kohl's and purchased many JB parrothead t-shirts....they are awesome
and with discount coupons are about $17.00 each...cannot wait for summer to wear them...
also bought many items for our upcoming bathroom renovation projects. Things like starfish,
shells, coral, etc.....my day is made and with spring right around the corner,
and my next Buffett concert on May 1, I am one happy woman!!

Checked at Kohls on my lunch break. Bought the Birds of a feather flock together t-shirt for an Easter gift!!

Saw the home decor items you told us about. They are so nice!! You are just going to have the coolest bathroom!! When you get done decorating you should take a couple pictures and post them here.

Did you see the shell picture frames?

[SAVANNAH BEE]

Yes I saw the shell picture frames....they are beautiful....not sure if that is something
that I would want in the bathroom....unless it was a photo of me and Jimmy Buffett!!!


Happy Shopping!!

Ladies, check out this fragrance at Bath and Body. It is from their island collection.

It is called, I Need A Margarita!! And it smells exactly like one. Least my nose thinks so. The store I saw it at has it in a body wash and a scrub.

There is no shampoo or conditioner at this time. However, there are other tropical scents it would work with. I'd suggest the coconut lime verbena.

The other scent they have is Tahiti Sweetie. But of the two the I Need A Margarita is my personal favorite.

There was a sale for this going on this week. I believe it was buy three for $15.

In their home fragrances, there is a scent called, Island Margherita.

Not sure if it was on sale or not. I'll check it out and let you know.

[SAVANNAH BEE]

Will upload those photos of my bathroom renovation when its done....

Great Idea...thanks..

Towel Size: 29 x 58

Designs: Whales
Frogs w/ surfboards
Flipflops (my favorite)

The store I was in had started to put out their summer dishes etc.

Haven't seen to much nautical themed items yet anyway. But they did have a fish pattern.

What I liked the best was a glass fish shaped bowl with a fish shaped spreader.

Price $1

There are matching salt and pepper shakers: $3

Darn - I was just in Green Bay the last couple of days and they have a Hobby Lobby there. I meant to go today before we headed home and forgot. They also have one in Grand Rapids, MI. Big Lots has a pretty good selection of tiki stuff, parrothead-type wood signs (we bought 2), plastic coconut bras, grass skirts, etc. The Dollar Store has their front area, where they put the parrot party stuff during the early summer, stocked with Easter stuff right now. TJ Max has a very good selection of seashell mirrors, etc. and nautical-looking stuff. I heard about the shirts at Kohls from another thread and plan on heading over there tomorrow, but also wanted to mention that we bought our son a couple of great parrot shirts at JC Penney's last summer.

Saw the items you were telling about at Big Lots.

Bought a cool welcome sign for our front door. It has a parrot on it.

Think I will also go back to get the one that has flip flops on it. Great signs for only $10

Is it the flip flops one that says "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem?" We got that one for the door of our sauna! Like you said, not bad for $10.
I LOVE THIS SITE TOO! I'm going to head over to Bath & Body for a little margarita scent and maybe over to Claire's for some cheeseburger earrings. Oh - I also saw the cheeseburger Doritos at our Walmart the other day.

Our Menards here has the plastic Adirondack chairs in tropical colors. Lime green, turquoise and blue. I have a friend who painted me some Margaritaville chairs but I thought those would look cool in a tropical based backyard. Sorry didn't get the price. I was afraid if I got close I would buy some and we are running out of room in the backyard. LOL

[nutmeg]

Midland area homes ( a local charity) is auctioning off adirondack chairs that have been hand painted by local artists. There is one titled 5 oclock somewhere.

A couple of the artists from my co-op painted a couple of the chairs. (I didn't get to help since I was on vacation)

Unfortunately, they have to be picked up locally....so the auction doesn't work well for those outside Michigan....

Walgreens has some really cool palm tree dishware right now.
