Dolla dolla bill y'all

More adventures in BedStuy...

So I decided to go to the dollar store yesterday which made me realize that I love nothing more than to frolic in the 18 inch wide aisles while being able to calculate the total in my head (saves me from embarrassment at the counter when I realise that I'm about $27 short). Either way, when I was living in queens I guess that I didn't realise what I was missing. After about 20 minutes of patrolling the aisles I left with about $12 worth of stuff but since it's the dollar store, I only paid $6. It's a good thing that they don't have carts or anything there because I would have ended up buying all kinds of foolishness; knockoff Foreman grills, high chairs, telephone cables, usb Christmas trees, walkmen, bed pans, fabuloso, babies, etc.

Last time that I went there I was looking for a corkscrew/bottle opener. Once the guy finally located it for me and pulled it off the wall with the ubiquitous "store claw" (you know, the one that they used to sell at science museums that let you reach up for things and clip them by pulling the trigger) I had the good sense to ask the counter guy how much it cost. Dude looked at me as if to say "did you miss the big sign out front that said 99 cents?"

I may not be the smartest but I know where to get the crazy deals.

Tomorrow the roti shop (all my trinis holla (that's you Naomi)!!)
