Bailout no longer necessary

We decided to head out to Toys R Us to do a little browsing and get a few ideas. 90 minutes later it was over. Shopping done for the holidays and I’m pretty sure we single-handedly pumped enough cash back in to the system that we no longer need any kind of bailout.

We were not planning on buying a single thing today, but the sales were too good to pass up. The store was packed to the point it was hard to get a cart around in there.

Looks like the stores are going to get agressive with pricing to get people out there spending.

    The "Squirrel" buying habits never cease to amaze me since they span the gambit.

    Shop for a "live" toy like little Sammy and the process is a grueling 5 month R&D, try-buy, you-name-it kind of process albeit with very successful results. On the other hand, put you and the little Mrs in a toy store and look out, the impulses take over and you're fighting some little old lady for the last Barbie on the shelf. Please tell me you won't be in Best Buy on Black Friday at oh-dark-30 for some electronic/techno wizard gadget.

    On the other hand, the way you raved about the ease of doing business with Red Box from an earlier posting, I would have guessed you for a 100% online shopper with the UPS truck pulling up in front of the house daily.

    Very complex, very complex you are.

    Now, if the "squirrel" truly wants to stave off the government bailouts, buy your kid a Chevy......no lines at the Cochran dealership.
