-I ventured into VV after lunch and found disappointment in womenswear (dressy casual is not in vogue as casual).Noticed a few tabbed short sleeve tops with sheen in khaki/tan/glazed linen in various sizes. Saw a medium green silk shirt in medium for $4.99 but I have nothing to pair with it-back on the rack. Pants-there was a cotton/spandex 14T (rare size find) navy pant (Jessica brand) on the rack and a Jones NY cuffed navy pant with pockets and oddly positioned zipper next to the left side pocket (100% poly). Did the circuit through tops/sweaters-I don't need another casual wool blend sweater in berry tones. Menswear-short and long sleeve shirts were mostly picked over (few tropical themed shirts for a change-usually there are so many) and ditto the short sleeve knits/aka golf/polo shirts. Great selection of men's t-shirts. I decided to nab one men's dress shirt (similar in colour to red grapes (darker red purple) as it was the desired easy care poly/cotton blend ($4.99>2.50 sale)that I want to sew into a top. Bonus find-dropped package of 3 men's cotton hankies in an intact Zellers package (though plastic was dingy) under one of the men's shirt racks(0.99>0.49 sale). I could not find any others in the men's accessories (tagged as bed & bath, also on sale) so decided I had to get them.
Depending on how long the freezing rain lasts in the morning, I intend to return to the store to try for pants and shirts again.
Admire your restraint at Costco! Is the membership price hike a concern or not for your family?
Dinner-made 2 cups of chicken bouillion with Aurora cube, added big handful of the roasted root veggies and loads of dried basil and tarragon. Made Earl Grey tea to have with two filled raspberry donuts (50% off paczki). Had to toss what I thought were reduced price nectarines-they are peaches but they are kind of woody as though there was a freeze somewhere and gaps in the flesh which is only slighty juicy.
Got a Sunday Sun newspaper-will post an item in News because it is rather interesting on two fronts (human interest).

-marvellous grocery shopping and great that you could do it solo! Happy cats at home too. If you have Cdn tire near you, will you get the 79 cents Whiskas wet food with the buy 5 get 5 free coupon from Smart Source? 25x CT e-money too (when you buy 4 or more). I assume your SK flyer has the same or similar offers as the ON flyer does. Thoughtful that your family considered everyone's health in deciding to stay home today.
