Seriously?! #2

(I have a feeling I'll have quite a few of these entries over the next few months here).

I went to a Dollar store yesterday to pick up a few cleaning supply items (why pay more if you don't have to, right?). I have to admit, in general there are quite a few useful items you can pick at a Dollar store - like the above mentioned cleaning supplies, perhaps some tea candles, some kitchen items, etc. As a general rule, I stay away from any food items - although, there recently has been a book published called The 99 Cent Only Stores Cookbook: Gourmet Recipes at Discount Prices.

Well, imagine my shock and surprise when during my check out I notice a pregnancy detection test at the register. Seriously!? First of all, why would the store carry a pregnancy detection test, and most importantly, who would actually go ahead and buy a pregnancy test at a Dollar store!?

LOL - You are in the South, Anna. Think of it as a foregin country because that's not too far from the truth! I think that's hilarious.

ME!!!

I have bought probably a hundred pregnancy tests total. Do you know how expensive they normally are? One generic test at a grocery store or CVS is like $13. If you are trying to get pregnant for any length of time, that adds up really quickly. In my experience, the dollar store tests are just as accurate anyway.

PS - haven't forgot your pics, will send you the files today.

Desparate times call for desparate measures Anna, and I may actually know of someone who purchased one of these.

Men, men would buy these. Women actually pony up and drop the $20 for an accurate test because they have a vested interest in the results.
