We took a day trip to a small town called Herman, MO this summer. It seems every small town has antique stores and you can’t help but go in and browse. Here are some of the items that caught my eye.
The fam and I went to Costco last weekend. For those of you who don’t know what Costco is, it is a huge warehouse with lots of stuff, everything from electronics to clothing to groceries to you name it.

How it differs from your typical mega-super store is that you can get mass quantities for a greatly reduced price. Think toilet paper. 😀
We also got a fabulous deal on my new laptop last month. This week our purchase included a 100-count box of granola bars and a six-pack of deodorant.

We grabbed some lunch from the snack bar to keep up our energy for the long check out lines.
I took all of these photos with my smart phone, which doesn’t have a great camera, but I am snap-happy, and also taking the advice of some fellow photographers, who told me recently to just “point and click.” 🙂
