Friday Five - yeah, a day late

1. Do you like to shop? Why or why not?
That depends. I love to shop at odd little stores, I hate to shop in malls. I love to shop on the internet, but I hate catalogs. Amazon.com saves me every Christmas as I'm desperately picking out last minute gifts that they will wrap and deliver.
There are a couple of exceptions - I love Kohls and Bed Bath and Beyond.

2. What was the last thing you purchased?
A turkey fryer on sale at K-Mart. Got it after Thanksgiving, I will try it at Christmas.

3. Do you prefer shopping online or at an actual store? Why?
For clothes, going to an actual store is pretty much required.
For nearly everything else, the Internet is king.

4. Did you get an allowance as a child? How much was it?

I got $2.00 a week until I went to college, then I got $10.00. At least half of that had to go into the piggy bank.
Once a year we would break the bank and take it to the bank. I had enough to buy a used car when I was 21.

5. What was the last thing you regret purchasing?
We bought my mother-in-law's old car. I was assured by John, his parents, et.al that it was in perfect shape and lovingly cared for. We gave him mom $2,000 for said car two years ago. Since then we have spent over $4000 on repairs for the damned thing!
I will never buy a used car again!
