Popsicle Update and a Warning

I went to JoAnne's Fabrics to get some popsicle trays and they were all out. The lady suggested I go across the way and I would definitely find them! Well, she was right,
I finally found some Popsicle trays!

I simplified the Popsicle making event too. After THIS, I decided to just pour 100% Juicy Juice into the container and call it a day!

I found them at a PLACE that should be deemed OFF LIMITS to people without SELF control on spending.

It was my first time in the store and shall remain my LAST unless I go with D.
Because he never ever browses for things. He has his mind set on something, goes in a store and comes out with what he planned to get. Me on the other hand went in to find Popsicle trays and found myself looking at gadgets and gadgets and more gadgets. By the time I got to Popsicle trays, I FORGOT what I was there for. HaHa..

So as a warning, if you've NEVER been to this store. DON'T go unless of course you have a strong will and or a partner who does NOT play when it comes to frivolous spending.

From what I experienced, I wanted to buy everything in the store even the happy face pencils by the cash register!
I think I'll just stick with the happiest place on earth. I don't need another addiction!

Question: Have you ever been to this store or a place similar? IF so, what was your experience?

OH YES!There's one less than a mile from my house. I love it!!!! I bought a couple of kitchen gadgets there too, but love, love their bathroom stuff. You're right, stay away because it is addicting and very pricey.

Did those popsicle trays work for you? They seem to get stuck whenever I use them so I just buy 5 oz. cups and popsicle stick whenever I make them.

First of all, thanks for stopping by and joining my giveaway.

2nd, I read a bit of your blog and I'm like OMG, this woman ccould be me! I take random pics of cars hogging up 2 spots, tailgating me, ... stuff like that. And this.

Now back to your question. I love LNT, Bed Bath & Beyond, and especially Target! Go in for one thing, come out w/ a truckload of crap!

I think that's how we used to make popsicles...with juicy juice...or just regular juice, nothing special.

And I can pretty much go into any type of store and find all kinds of goodies...even going to the drug store isn't safe for me!

LNT will make you buy stuff you didn't even know you needed. LOL I stay far away from that place. However, I do want to redecorate my bathroom...so maybe that'll be my excuse for going in there.

Bed Bath & Beyond is similar. Both years of college, I was in there big spending!

PS, I'm giving away a body butter!

Linens N Things is definitely a bad place to go if you have a shopping addiction! I know firsthand!!

And I love that you call Target the happiest place on earth. Too funny!

Hello! I registered there when I got married. I was going crazy with that little gun.
I registered for stuff I don't need.

I am obsessed with Michael's! Good thing for me is I only buy if it is on sale or I have a 40% off coupon! Then there is Publix. I think I go every single day! I have been good today, I have spent ZERO dollars! YAY!!!!

That is so funny! Before the Hubs deployed, he said two things- Don't leave the country and do not go to Linen N Things! (I have a habit of going to Mexico for cheap vacations with the boys!) LNT sprinkles fairy dust on you when you walk in to make you want everything in there! Seriously!

Monkey Man Miles said...

I am the same way and I love it I get all crackish when I get to Michael's , TArget, AC moore, the supermarket, babies r' us pretty much anywhere!

I'm a Mom!..? said...

I love this store -- it's like Mommy Crack.

Must. Avoid.

Thank you everyone! At least I am NOT the only one in this world with ISSUES. HaHa...Lawd knows I don't need another addiction.

We found champagne glasses for the toast at my friend's wedding reception--- for cheaper than the plastic ones at the party store. I don't go in very often.

My Mom used to make fresh fruit juice popsicles with a kit she got from tupperware.

Edy's has some supposedly all natural popsicles, but I think I'll make them from juice when I finish the box in my freezer... much more economical! Thanks for the reminder!

Ok..So I am loving how you called Target the happiest place on earth..ROFLOL...Couldn't agree with you more! As far as LNT..On Sundays when I get the paper and there's a 20% off coupon I am almost dying to go..lol...fortunately my bank account will not allow me most of the time..but a girl can dream right?

CG said...

We have one of those stores here and I love it too but I don't go in there unless I'm looking for something specific. They have lots of great things, don't they?

Thanks for stopping by and signing up for my giveaway!

Why is that men can do this? Hubby can go grocery shopping in 1/3 of the time it takes me to work my way half way down the list!! It's no fair!
