    Kind of adorable that the last poster’s boyfriend knows her well enough to know that she wanted the lime.

    I bet he clocked that thing as something they were buying, possibly even before she saw it lol

      She sounds impossible sensitive enough that he’s probably always on high alert mindful of her needs

    This describes my girlfriend. She sees a miniature hammer at a store and gushes about how cute it is. She collects trinkets like a crow.

    A the discount grocery store I buy the cereal box that is banged up. I’ll open it to verify the bag inside is still air tight, but if the only issue is the cosmetic box itself I don’t care and will buy it. If I don’t, then its possible the beaten up box will be discarded from being non-sold. Increased shrink (retail term for product that doesn’t get sold) will mean prices go up on everything and possibly the workers don’t get raises (or not as big a raise) to cover the loss.

    I’m fine with a beaten up box if it means my price stay low and workers get raises.

      I’ve been buying the crushed Chaos boxes for MTG cards at my local Walmart this year. These things have probably been sitting in storage forever instead of being sent back but I grab them when I see them. They’ve been real good to me. I pulled a Rhystic Study, Ragavan, Ao the sky dawn, and a Junji the Midnight Sky out of them this summer.
