@Carrie Murphy@twitter Oh man Unique. I either hit a home run or leave that place absolutely disgusted. There’s a Goodwill that just opened up on Annandale Road near 50 that is the BOMB. And it’s new, so it doesn’t have much of a Musty Goodwill Funk yet. Also, 10% discount for Capital One customers. The Hospice place in Seven Corners by the Rte. 50 Goodwill that has a random assortment of sometimes surprisingly nice things mixed in with the horrifying polyester suits – I found a really cheap silver coffee set there once.

And actually, I work in Alexandria, and have big plans to scope out the hideously overpriced consignment shops in Old Town soon.

Thrifting squee!

@anachronistique The only time I have ever regretted buying chocolate is when I buy the cheap stuff, in fact.

I’m actually becoming somewhat frightened by the slavish devotion to Sprout. This is like the third person I’ve seen mention traveling at least a semi-ridiculous distance to get their hair done there. Are the stylists there magical? Can they do something about my permanent Alfalfa cowlick or encourage my hair to go gray faster or something?

@dj pomegranate Jesus yes! I visited NYC this weekend and enjoyed a lovely brunch for two for under $25 with tip. I can’t get a damend waffle in my neighborhood for less than $18.

Carrie,

I see that you used your deditcard at Starbucks. Are you aware of the Starbucks bonus program where you get register a Starbucks card online and get a free drink for every 14 or 15? You also get free syrup and soy milk.

Target and that best with many backs aka WalMart are the devil. I swear I go in thinking I’m only going to buy like three thinks and maybe spend no more than 15 bucks. Yet somehow buy the time I get to the register, I have half a cart of stuff and my bill is between 50-60 dollars.

I never have this problem when I’m shopping in a drug store like CVS or Duane Reade.
