christmas shopping WIN
Oct. 21st, 2009 06:53 pmI want to buy my parents a fire pit for Christmas. They've done a lot of work on the yard and it looks nice, and a fire pit would be just the thing for their deck. So I looked on Amazon to get a general idea of prices and styles, and I found one I liked, more or less reasonably priced. But I was going to shop at Home Depot and Lowe's just to see if I could find a better deal, 'cause shipping something that weighs fifty something pounds is going to cost. Well. Just today I was at Old Time Pottery to buy some mini loaf pans so I can make banana nut bread (walked out with more than that, of course; I always see something else I "need", hah), and right there in the front of the store was a fire pit--the same dimensions, and nearly the same style--for almost a hundred dollars less. Score!
