My wife can't get enough of Bed Bath and Beyond. She wants everything they have

I'm not so much into shopping but I have to agree with your wife here I love that place.

Gotta love Target!! It's my replacement for Penney's back in Ireland

I'm pretty sure I've seen JC Penney's here in the US.

Yes, there are a few within a 20 mile radius of me.

Unfortunately two totally different retailers. Penney's is an English chain...I think it's called Primark in the UK and it's the bees knees for cheap and cheerful clothes! How could you go wrong paying E4 for a kick a*s belt!!

Do you have any Great Indoors near where you live? My wife loves that too and like you, she claims she's not into shopping

I've become Dollar Store Freak....lol.

Man, the dollar stores here in Virginia are AWESOME compared to the stuff you get in the dollar stores in Montreal! In Mtl, they sell real ####### and you get your dollar's worth and no more. But omg here they have real brand name things on the shelves! I get stuff like L'Oreal lotions and Fruit of the Loom socks for a buck! I even got my favorite Maple Leaf cookies from CANADA there for a buck! (bought 6 packages haha). Hubby teases me about it every time we pass one he puts on this hyper voice and screams "EEEEEEEEEEEE!!! A DOLLAR STORE!!! GOTTA STOPPPPP!"

Creep.

I got addicted to Trader Joe's. I don't think I'll be able to move to any area that does not have Trader Joe's.

Hmm, you're right. For some reason I thought that Penney's in Ireland was owned by the American chain JC Penney's.

oh, yeah... I was amazed what I could find at the dollar stores around here too... they are like a little market.... the one we go sells a lot of canned food, fresh produce etc.... hubby and I usually spend about 50 bucks in there even though we usually only go in to buy a couple of things

Totally agreed on the Trader Joes. We always have a plentiful supply of two buck chuck!

TJ's also has really awesome green tea with jasmine, my new favorite beverage du jour (much better than drinking the brit tea I was used to).

I am also addicted to In N Out (which is a shame as I don't live in any of the states that have it.)

Sushi

Costco (where i usually end up with a giant bag of something i didn't realise i needed)

Craigslist

The Daily Show

Burritos

American sports

New York (when I can get there)

Visiting as many US states as possible

Cherry coke. I liked it before, but I have strange cravings for it now.

Fat Tyre beer

And many more things that i'll bore you with should the thread continue.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Burritos are good.

[Mand 1]

Soft Pretzels

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

Amstel Light Beer

Yumma yumma!!
