Well, today was payday and I went shopping groceries and later I went to Target to get the chair covers for my dining room chairs which were on sale for $7.99-a real bargain. I believe that I paid $20 each back in 2000. Of course everything comes from China. I looked in at TJ Maxx to see what they had and I fell in love with some of their handbags. I have to save up to buy a couple of them. I especially like the ones by B.Makowsky. They have such luxurious leathers. The stores are full of Xmas merchandise but the recession is still in full force and it looks to be dismal season this year.
