Holy cow. 1.0L of margarita mix. Nice. :) I didn't try it though. But margarita mix typically comes fairly cheap anyway, so I wouldn't think it'd be that bad.
I found these by the cash register while checking out. They were right next to the Junior Mints, and rightly so. This is the first time I'd seen any other flavor other than the usual mint and caramel (Junior Caramels). They're about the size of the theater candy boxes (4.0 ounces). How weird though, I can't even find it on their site as a product. The box doesn't state it as being limited edition, nor is it decorated as a seasonal item. There's no expiration date that I could find on the box either. Regardless, it's pretty good stuff. I'm a big fan of those raspberry creme/chocolate items. Yum. :) Same family as the Junior Mints, so it's got the same consistency and all. Good stuff. I may stock up on a few more, even though I'm not much of a major sweets person.
I randomly decided to pick up a bag of chips and have been in the mindset of trying "generic" items lately. These aren't bad. They're not the most flavorful, but they are quite crispy, as kettle cooked chips ought to be. The flavor is indeed barbecue... but I think it's somewhere in between mesquite and sweet 'cause it's not really one or the other. There are a few pieces here and there that I find to be too oily though. But only a couple out of the entire 5.0 ounce bag (actually, of all the ones I'd eaten so far. 5.0 ounces is a lot). Not bad. Though, I'm not sure if I'd ever actually get a craving for these though. I quite like the design of the packaging though. :P Generics that try to mimic name brands make me giggle inside.
This was probably my favorite purchase all night. I'd picked up a giant stocking (over a meter long) for my brother and friend. Not bad considering that all of their normal sized stockings go for $1.00 as well as their two-pack of the miniature stockings. Imagine how many of those you'd have to put together to even come close tot his size. I've only ever seen one stocking bigger than this one and it was from CVS - but that one costs about $10.00. I'll stick with this one, thank you.
The stocking is actually filled with more junk I'd found in the "Stocking Stuffers" section. We've never actually used our stockings in this household so I thought it'd be fun to give my brother a stuffed stocking this year with things he'd remember from when he was younger. Apparently the same toys that he and I had used to play with when we were little (I'm the child of the 90's! - born in '89, baby~!) are making a come back. Those toys are starting to pop up everywhere.
