Yeah, well I had to get my rings inspected! I DESPISE the mall!!!! Figured I would treat DH to a pretzel since I had a BOGO coupon. Sheesh, can't believe those things cost $2.49 plus tax. YIKES!
Well, my diamond was loose so they have to send it out for repair. I'm just wearing my mom's gold band (that is part of my "set") and it feels strange. The repair will cost $0 as we bought the service plan many years ago. Not the first time I've had to use it either.
Found a dime and a nickel on our way in - a good find!
Got home to find an envelope stating "We thank you for your time and effort in participating in this important research." There was a check for $25 ! I have NO clue what this was for!
Also got a $20 rebate for DH's contact lenses and $17.52 refunded for overpayment on my car loan I just refinanced. Nice haul today!
I see that I have two pinecone surveys in my inbox - one is a product eval follow up. Gotta go make that easy money now.
Have a great evening everyone!
Went to the *GASP* mall!

I know what you mean ... I was so happy when a strip mall in my area put in a freestanding JC Penney's. Now I can avoid the mall, the parking is less congested, it is never crowded, and I can usually find the right sizes I am looking for.

I live directly across the freeway from TWO malls. In the past three years I've lived here, I've only gone there by myself once (to Claire's to buy some jewelry). I've been there maybe 10 times with other people (besides my dad)- 3 of those times to go see a movie at the theater on the third floor (had free movie passes two of those times).

I guess I can understand if someone have no interest in it. I only have a few interests in the mall. The rest, I really couldn't care less.
However, to despise it? Do tell!

Well I hate the smells, I'm not big on expensive name brand clothing, and the sales often don't bring things down to a price I'm willing to pay. Oh yes, and don't forget the puppy mill puppies everone always oohs and aahs over!
I know where to find everything I need, and the answer is just never "at the mall". I go there twice a year to get my rings inspected, and DH drags me there every once in a while because he wants to look at something. Oh, I did have to run there a few weeks ago thanks to the Sears Shop Vac fiasco http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/expired-deals/842091?highlig.... That's why there's a giant shop vac living in my living room....

So true. I can relate to everything you said.

As for me, though...ugh.
