A simple run to the dollar store became a bit more complicated once I found out that they had NO chalk in the entire width and breadth of the store. I did pick up books for the Boy to jump start us into our easy summer program of learning. So I had to run ourselves from the relatively close dollar store all.the.way down to the Mart of Wal.
Their little pack of sidewalk chalk is totally overpriced. I can see $1.50, but not nearly $3. Their manuscript writing pads were ridiculous, too. They have some they call “2-3 grade” paper which has thinner lines than the 1st grade paper…and it costs a full dollar more. WHAT???
I guess I nearly wet myself when I saw the prices, cuz all of a sudden I had to use the facilities. Ergh. I ended up getting 2 packets of regular sized chalk (2 packs of 12 are now 72 cents each color or white) and deciding to just make copies of his manuscript paper at the library. It costs me less to make a full book of pages than it does to buy them already made.
At least Pe-psi was on sale *smh*.
