You notice those blue tags

[Stang]

You know the handicap ones that people have in their cars.

Is it me or are they just handing those things out like they were candy? I swear every car has them these days.

They really need to restrict those things and give them out to people that really need them not to someone that has a migraine here and there. People are abusing them. Oh and the ones that take them from their family members so they can park closer to the entrances. LAZY ASSES FREAKIN USE THOSE LEGS AND WALK!!!

Weird how this world works sometimes.

[Cerberus]

I have one, its for my bad knuckle on my pinky

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

I got one cause I told them I had a hangnail...

[Spinning Hat]

I got one because I told the state I had 15 kids, and I was mentally retarded. :lol

[XRogue]

Well I can testify you don't have 15 kids. As to the other part, you're on your own. :P


And dare I add, that Wally World wouldn't need 58 handicapped spaces in front of their stores if everyone and their dog Fred didn't have a blue tag. :rolleyes:

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

You call it Wally World too?

My aunt called it that, and I was like "wth?".

[XRogue]

Hehehe, yah I call it that. I have to do something to make fun of them, I shop there every week for groceries.

[Spinning Hat]

When I lived in Oklahoma, I shopped at WallyWorld once for groceries, and I'll never do it again. Never. Worst damn Grocery Store I had ever been to.

[Gambit]

Depends on the individual store, really. We have some newish ones around here that are pretty decent.

We used to get our meat at Winn-Dixie, but they closed down. :(

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

"Winn-Dixie"?

I just go to Safeway or QFC.

Around here, Wally-World is where the welfare moms shop. I'm not getting tangled up with them. Not ever.

[Ghryphen]

Ive never been to Wal-Mart, I just build them :D

Safeway is where we go all the time. We go to Fred Meyer for meat though.

[Cerberus]

Wal-Mart is a nightmare for Grocery. IT's a non union, Crapfest. If you want to shop where they have brainwashed employees who think getting 9 bucks an hour is great and being yelled at and forced to work overtime off the clock is the standard. Keep on shopping there. As for me I hate Walmart.

[Stang]

The Wal-Mart around here is crappy inside for it going up just 2 yrs ago. The inside is all trashy looking, reminds me of Kmart when I was a kid. Havent been in Kmart in yrs either. Ever since Target came in thats the only place I go, close and good prices.

[Spinning Hat]

I shop at Cub Foods mostly, and if I am down south and need to go to a grocery store, I usually go to Albertson's. Both stores are about the same price and quality wise, but Cub's Layout is generally much better.

[Stang]

The Albertsons around here need a new look inside or something cuz you walk inside and feel like your in the ghetto or something.

Safeways keeps their stores updated, clean, and good sales.

[Ghryphen]

HHHaha Albertson's, who had all the commercials that said, come shop with us, you don't need a club card like Safeway.......now they offer club cards :nono

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

lol

I haven't been inside an Albertson's in years.

[XRogue]

Heh, I have an Albertson's card, a Randall's/Tom Thumb card and a Kroger card. Obtained specifically for the purpose of getting those nice loss leaders they offer, and I pretty much buy nothing else in their stores, except for a laundry additive Kroger's carries that nobody else has around here. I love thumbing my nose at overpriced stores. :D

[Jode]

Top Foods baby! The only way to go! ;)
:yup:

[Ghryphen]

;) haha, I never liked Top foods :p Been in them about 3 times.

[Stang]

That and Top Foods is farther away, Safeway is more convient :).

Do you still bag your own in Top Foods still? I remember going in with my Mom and like to do that :).

[XRogue]

Heh, there is a store called Aldi's where you not only bag your own groceries, you bring your own bags/containers or you don't get any. And to get a cart you pay a quarter (refunded when you bring the cart back in.) It's a bummer, but there are no Aldi's here in Texas, cause I understand it is a really inexpensive place to shop. All their stuff is generic, so some may not like to shop there, but I am the generic brand QUEEN.

[Stang]

I remember going to stay with my Grandma and we would go into this little grocery store and if I remember right you got a pin, more like a crayon though, and wrote the price on the items. I think back now and was like hey how do you know if someone put the right amount on it :).

Wonder if its still there :D.

[Jode]

Wow that would be weird Stang.

No you don't bag your own groceries at Tops anymore. ;)
I like them because they are the only store with a scratch bakery.
Every place else pulls their frozen dough out of the freezer and then bakes it! YUCK!!

[Xenocidez66]

Here in Iceland we bag our own groceries but also have to pay for the bag.

[Spinning Hat]

I wouldn't have a problem with Bags. I have enough of them to last me 5 or 6 years. :lol And as far as baggin groceries goes, I've always had to bag them myself.

[Jode]

I think you either had to buy the bags or bring your own in Germany too! I forgot about that!
Most of the women carried these huge baskets they would put everything in.
But people mostly just shopped for one meal at a time.

[Xenocidez66]

We do alot of that one meal at a time thing here as well. Sometimes it just works out that way.

[Spinning Hat]

It's hard to feed just 3 people. Trying to buy enough to feed them, but not have a lot of leftovers is hard to do. Especially when you get better prices when you buy stuff in bigger packages.. Most of the time, not always....

[XRogue]

Heh, I bake my own cookies and bread, I like it better. I also make my own pizza. :hammy:

I love buying in bulk too. :D

[Xenocidez66]

And here I thought I was the only one to bake my own cookies and make my own pizza. That makes me not feel so alone in this world.

[XRogue]

Nope, you are not the only one. I used to work at a pizza place, and it's easy for me to make them now. Besides, I make better cookies than our local bakeries, and my bread is just as good. Oh, and my pies are better than theirs too. :D The fact that storemade pies are too sweet here may have a wee bit to do with that too. :D

[Jode]

My family makes their own pizza too...it just hasn't been passed down to me yet! :lol
Guess I need to get crackin' on that! ;)
I make my own cookies and pies, no bread yet, not patient enough. Plus I love warm bread out of the oven so I would eat the whole thing I'm sure!!:s0003:

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

I cook pretty much anything.

Pizza is one of my faves, because I used to work in a pizza place too! I like cooking with pastas though. And my favorite thing to bake is probably a tie between cookies and brownies. I can do cakes, but the frosting is a bit of work for me. (Unless I just want to slap something on there and not get fancy.)

[Spinning Hat]

Asha loves making 'special' brownies, filled with all kinds of laxatives and special 'herbs'. :lol

[XRogue]

:lol


Jode, that is why you make two to four loaves at once. That way everyone has a shot. :D MMMMMMMMMMM, warm fresh bread right out of the oven, with butter. :biggrinp:

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

:lol

Then give them to the local highschool kids, right?

:lol

[XRogue]

Nope. :D Our local HS kids don't appreciate home cookin'.

[Jode]

Ok Pizza Party at Asha's house!!:redbounce

[Stang]

and pasta for me :D. Gryphon could live on pizza :P .

We got a bread maker at my bridal shower and man fresh bread is yummy! We want to try some cinnamon bread soon :).

[Jode]

We could live on pizza too!! :P

Cinnamon bread is the best!!!!

[XRogue]

:biggrin: Can I bring a cake and the pasta sauce? Or maybe some :corn:

[Jode]

:jester2:

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

Fresh bread is good.

[Spinning Hat]

Fresh Bread wi11 r0x0r y0ur b0x0rz!

[XRogue]

:imu: :jester: :gryph0: Very true.

[Cerberus]

shop at top foods ;)

well, Everett Top's is the first therefor the oldest, but we usually have the best sales, the best conditions, and you don't have to have a "let us send you bullshit spam" card.. to get the good prices.

[Stang]

Give it time Im sure eventually they will cave in :D. They all do.

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

I like the top foods down by where Jester lives. It's too far for me to go to except when I visit a friend of mine down in Federal Way. But when I go there, it's always impressive. Especially this one girl that works there. Rowrrr!

[Stang]

Of course the girl stands out :D.

[Jode]

:lol

/me faints.
*thud*

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

Hmm...

It looks like Rogue tried... ?

Gambit, you guys got a side business going down there?

[XRogue]

HS kids are stupid, Bug. Face it.

[Stang]

If its not greasy they dont want anything to do with it :).

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

Pretty much. :(


Ooh! Coffee! Everyone drank coffee when I was in HS. (I never drank it until college though. I preferred pop.)
Anyways, just open an espresso stand that sells "special" coffee blends. With your choice of herb and beans. In fact, you could call it "Herb and Beans".

I see a market there... especially since both are addictive. ;)

[Stang]

You see the new Oreo's? Half white and half coffee :eek: .

I dont drink coffee at all but I love Haggen Daz coffee Ice Cream!!!

[XRogue]

Haven't tried the new Oreo's. Don't know that I actually like coffee, either, I just hate being comatose in the morning worse.

No, we don't have something on the side, Asha, it's just that the teens around here seem to eat nothing but fast food or tv dinners. :eek:

[Jode]

I liked the salads we had at our high school. But I was raised on healthy foods so it might just have something to do w/ how you are brought up.

:confused:

[XRogue]

Yup. I was brought up in a family of good cooks. These days around here, ppl act surprised if you cook anything more complicated than a sandwich. :confused:

[Jode]

;)
