What A Deal!

So there's this great kid's store in Roseville called Right Start that we love. They sell car seats and strollers and toys, and it's all kind of high end and educational type stuff. Well when we went in there today they were had everything in the store on sale. We were able to buy our new car seat for Jack for 20% off! We had really wanted the Britax Boulevard, which Consumer Reports rates as the best car seat available, but they cost over $300!!! We had been planning on sucking it up and just doing it, because we wanted the best for Jack, so when we were able to get it for only $250, we just couldn't resist!

Now, the sad part of the story is that the reason they were having such a huge sale is they're going out of business. I really hate this economy. It's so frustrating when you see smaller places like this go under, because then you have no choice but to shop at the big box stores. Now, don't get me wrong, I love Target and I love Babies R Us, but it is nice to shop with the little guys every now and then. They're just so much happier to have your business and it shows in the level of service they give you. For example (and this is totally random), we just switched our dog food to a brand we can only get at a local feed store, and when we went in to buy it, the people working were SO nice and so helpful. We had barely stepped into the store when they asked if we needed help. The last time we were in Petsmart, we were there for almost 45 minutes before we could track down someone to help us. This is really a rant more suitable for my husband's blog, though!

As always, I'll leave you with a cute picture!
