Hurray for the USA

Our score
Sterling's new headphones

Starting our trip

Snacks we packed

Yesterday morning we headed out to Niagara Falls, USA for some retail therapy. We started at the Fashion Outlet Mall, headed off to Wal-Mart and ended up at Target. We had a great day and got some great deals. To boot, when we came back across the border they didn't charge us any duty. Some of the big finds were underwear for Sterling. We had looked at them at Wal-Mart here on Monday and they were $17.88 for 3 pairs. We bought them down there for $8.74 for 4 pairs. Great deal. He also got a pair of new runners and due to the sale at Reebok, Kaedo was able to get some great cleats for $19.88 - another great deal. Craig and I were lucky enough to score some great deals at the Oakley store - we both needed new glasses and hadn't purchased any in years. Craig was able to pick up a navy hat that he was looking for and I got an outfit on clearance at Target. Kaeden spent all his money on gum, pop and candy (surprise surprise) and Sterling bought himself a pair of SkullCandy headphones - now he looks like a teenager! Craig was able to pick up some more football gloves for himself and his buddy and we made a brief stop for Kaedo's favorite cereal - S'Mores.
We packed our own lunch so we didn't have to buy lunch and only splurged on a pretzel for Kaedo. We got home at about 7:45 and it was just a great day.

Holy! what a pile of junk. Looked in Walmart today and they have S'mores and Eggos. Let us know if you want both kinds. Also lucked out on Low Fat mayo. It can only be purchased at Safeway here. No one else carries it and we can't get it at home. I'm going to e-mail the company to see why it's not available in Canada.

Weather is great...again. Went for a hike with two other couples. The cactus are in bloom and there were so many other wonderful things to see in the desert hills.

Love to all
