Life’s pleasure that only costs $1 May 25, 2008

I never realized one of the greatest joys in life despite it being right around the corner from my house.

Garnet Valley, Pa., is one of the best places to live because we’re in Pennsylvania, the greatest state of the union, yet we’re a stone’s throw from Delaware, home of tax-free shopping.

While preparing for Alex’s Lemonade Stand, which is coming up in two weeks!!!!!, I decided to run to my local Delaware Dollar Tree to pick up some posterboard.  The deal that they’ve had for as long as I can remember is 2 for $1.

So…I park my car, walk into the Dollar Tree, pick up my four sheets of posterboard, walk up to the cashier immediately, hand her $2, and walk back to my car.  The entire process took about 43 seconds.

If you have a list of things you need to do before you reach a certain point (21st birthday, 30th birthday, death), going to a dollar store in Delaware should be in the top five.

Oh, and get a receipt as a memento.
