Shopping

A stack of Record Store Day Black Friday goodies that already includes Judas Priest, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan just got piled a lot higher.

On Wednesday, September 23 Gordmans hosted a media preview and shopping event where they presented a $2,500 check to Bismarck Public Schools.

Holiday shopping can sure burn a ho ho hole in your wallet.

I love the fact that finally a day has been established to shop locally with Small Business Saturday! The Bismarck-Mandan area is blessed with so many unique and specialty shops.

I thought this was such a good idea and I hope the powers that be at Dan's Supermarket, Cash Wise, Wal-Mart and Target all catch on to this great idea that is in place in a Supermarket in the Netherlands.  Test Driving Toilet Paper!!  How Cool??

For a guy---maybe I'm an odd duck---but I love grocery shopping.  I have since I was a little guy and used to go to the grocery stores with my mom and "help" her shop.    I'm a bargain hunter and look for the best prices on what I buy.  And it looks like I may not be alone when it comes to being a guy going grocery shopping.  I do notice a lot of guys when I shop--whether it be at Dan's

There's a new survey out of our favorite places to patronize nationally and 8 out of the 10 ARE here in Bismarck and Mandan.    See if your favorite place to shop made the top-10!!  The two from the top-10 we're missing here are 7-11 Stores and Walgreen's.

Not that I'm cheap, but I like to save money when I can and I will do some shopping at the Dollar Store and I found a list on-line of the very best stuff to buy at the Dollar Store and get you the maximum value for your dollar!

So you have not even started your Christmas shopping and you're in a panic, wondering what is open, when stores close and what type of merchandise remain in the local stores. Fact is, you'll find some great bargains as retailers want to move the product or will have to carry it over to next holiday season.

This surprised me a bit....but after I read it and thought about it---yep---it MAKES all the sense in the world!
