Shopping

Well the holiday season is here and people are out shopping. I have been shopping for my nieces and I needed to pickup a few things yesterday. I have the good fortune to have a friend who worked for Nike and I was able to go to the employee store, from time to time I do some shopping there. It is basically one giant Nike store with everything they make from all the brands, and the good thing is it is all half price. So those $150 shoes are $75...

Even though it is half price, you can walk out with $300 or $400 dollars worth of spent items. It is not uncommon to see people spend $500. Since it would be $1000 at a retail store, people go kind of crazy. I get stuff sometimes that I don't really need, I have a ton of running shirts and shorts, jackets now, I never would have had so much stuff if I didn't have the chance to get it for half price.

This weekend, being the weekend before Christmas, the line to get in was long. I had to wait 35 minutes to get to the door and I was wondering about the checkout line. It can be as long inside as out. But I was pleasantly surprised in that there was no line at all inside the store, though it was crowded. I am not going to need to shop for much in the near future, but it is nice to know I will be able to once in a while. I can't think my friend more.
