Shopping Discoveries
Couple of points learned during today’s errand-running:
1. Clothespins are much harder to find than I thought they would be. I’ve looked in department stores, drug stores, and a Bed Bath and Beyond, and no luck. From the Amazon searches I did when I got home tonight, it looks like hardware stores might be my best bet. So off to the store tomorrow, it seems. I mean, if the sun’s gonna be beating down anyway, may as well put some of that energy to work. Doing more than the whole sustaining life as we know it thing, anyway.
2. I’m looking for beverages that don’t have high fructose corn syrup, and boy howdee that ain’t easy either. But Whole Foods does stock single serving bottles of several varieties of Kristall fruit sodas. I wasn’t crazy about their Orange, but the Lemon Lime Twist was quite refreshing. Nantucket Nectars look like a good option, too.

Target! I get my clothespins at target. I think in the hanger aisle 🙂

I was at Target yesterday and I couldn’t find the flippin’ things. But thanks – I’ll double check. Wound up getting some overpriced plastic all-purpose clips from Lowe’s today – figured that by the time I schlepped around to more stores, or ordered them from the Internet, I’d have burned more fuel than I was saving.
