Impulse Purchase? I Think Not!


A new Shopko opened in North Branch, Minnesota, where Aimee's family lives; and so, when we were there over Thanksgiving, Aimee and I decided to check it out. We went in thinking we were just going to look at clothes and purses for Aimee and walked out with two new leather rocker recliners (along with a new purse for Aimee). Although this may seem like an impulse purchase, our current chairs have been driving me nuts for over a year as they were uncomfortable, cheaply made, and each have something broken on them. The new chairs are extremely comfortable (Othello is enjoying said comfort in one of the chairs in the picture above), have stood up to the test of the cats' back claws so far, do not allow cat hair to stick to them, and were 60% off! I couldn't pass up that deal, and so we loaded them into Aimee's car, although we had to take them out of the boxes to get them to fit into Aimee's car with our luggage from our trip.
