a trip to the Ben Franklin store when I was little was like going to a fancy store today……….didn’t buy much but loved to look at all the stuff. I actually bought my first lipstick at Ben Franklin, was called “Tange”, no specific color but turned according to the chemistry of your system.
Big Lots on the west coast. Actually Big Lots is a cool store, where else can you get all those products that were in “test” markets and only a few months old?
Big Lots in the Midwest is neat…..there ARE bargains but you have to do due diligence and shop around/compare prices, etc. We get flavors of name-brand foods not marketed around us plus more than a few of the so-called house-brand items are better than their ‘name brand’ counterparts.

Whether or not you need it, eh? Do they still have Diners Club Cards?

Think they’ll take BitCoins, Google Wallet, Pay Pal, and Apple Pay?

Remember that great line in “Fried Green Tomatoes” when Kathy Bates says, “Face it girls, I’m older and have more insurance.”
