At First it Was Called "Pic and Save"

I've been thinking about getting one of these Big Ben Moon Beam clocks for a while now. I was super stoked to find one at Big Lots for $15!


Being a scrounge is finally starting to pay off for me. Go buy one because I want to give Big Lots positive reinforcement. When you are there DON'T BUY ANY CLORETS.

    those are so coooool. I'd better add Big Lots back to my list of thrifty haunts.

    Oooh. I like that clock.
    One time, when it was called MacFrugal's, I got the best meatloaf sauce there that I have ever had. Unfortunately, it was a close-out, so it was never seen again. Curse you, closeouts!

    Jaime and I were just talking about this the other day...the name evolution from "Pic n Save" to "MacFrugals" to "Big Lots". There was also the lesser known "Odd Lots". They are all dumb names if you ask me, but we still love going there.

    I do too. Now that it's Big Lots, it's not the same.

    At least not in Duarte!

    I really loved the name MacFrugals because it seemed like place Mike Myers dressed as a leprechaun would shop.

    I loved MacFrugals.

    Goodness gracious, I've been eyeing the Moon Beam clock in the LL Bean catalog for years. Way to go Big Lots!

    I need to find a Big Lots around here. Minus the underwear they sell (fabric is way too plastic-ishy) they have some amazing finds...

    Pic n' Save will always remind me of getting ready for Girls' Camp. I can't walk in there without looking for stuff that I could make into the daily "thought" for my group of girls.
