60% off which price?

The bet is that folks willing to drop serious $$ on name brands at mainstream retail stores are not the same ones who drive to out-of-the-way outlet malls to comb through junk for deals.

Not even if you see a nice pair of barely-used running or dress shoes in your size for $5, and they’re over $100 even on Amazon?

But don’t you get some pleasure when you get a nice designer-labeled tie for $0.50 on the last Tuesday of the month?

And better quality than the outlet stuff at 95% off.

But don’t they make cafeteria trays with separated compartments just so the boiled spinach with cream of washroom soup doesn’t touch the Salisbury “steak” or fish jello?

Is there some sinister, invisible point system at work here?

Let’s not hate too hard on designer labels - they line the aisles of every thrift store in the country and put smiles on the faces of people like you and me when we find an unworn jacket or pair of shoes on purple-tag day for under $3.

Let’s not leave out those other two stalwarts of the vexatious lawsuit triumvirate, to wit: Champerty and Maintenance.

Is that why it keeps saying “Load More?”

God, that was an embarrassing boner.

No, that’s Martin Guerre. He’s back.

Hmm.

Now THAT’S saying something...

I would choose the vanilla paste.

I suppose Cincinnati without chili is just another Italian city.

Damn, a drinker with a beet habit.

It all winds up in the same place.

I have no way of knowing whether beets or anything else has the taste you so vividly and knowingly describe.
