It’s Christmas Time in the City …

I hope everyone had a fun Christmas and there were peals of laughter, crazy running around the tree and screams of delight … and hope your kids did the same 🙂

Thanks for my fun gifts and after a day’s break from the maddening crowd, it’s time to get back out there …

I’m not exactly sure if this was pre-planned – to sell to the walls and restock on the 25th? Or maybe they too realized they had 25 pallets of toys in the back. Here’s what my Target looked like early yesterday …

And yes, that clump of toys in the far end – stocked to the BRIM with Speed Racer toys …

And of course, who knows – WM might even see fit to un-tarp these …

Looked through the ads today (for tomorrow), not much CARS stuff – an item here and there but overall, not much of anything CARS related …
Was also at the $.99 Store – they still had plenty of Speed Racers … humm, not to be Monday Morning A** but perhaps we should’ve gotten MORE CARS and less Speed Racer? Think of all the dead dinosaurs who gave their all so the $.99 Store can have 2-million Speed Racers …

I also want to point out that anything “neatly” shelved at the $.99 Store is not good news … this rack has been like this for a long time …

And while I rarely give advice, I think you might want to take my counsel on the following …

ez-eats

NEVER eat anything called E-Z Eats!

And never eat anything called COUNTRY FRIED BEEF FINGERS …

I’m just saying …

So, I hope you did not get a box of E-Z Eats For Christmas … What did you get?

And happy shopping on the 26th – drop a line here or in the SHOPPING AREA post on what you see or don’t see … Haulers? Collector’s Guide?
