Computers seemed to be a hot item today. That has little surprise in it although I think if I had gone out today, it would have been for other items as gifts for Christmas. I do realize that people save enormous amounts of money on a day like this assuming they actually get their items. I suspect that many people went home with only some of what they were after and others went home disappointed altogether. We would have not faired well today at the store. We, that is my husband and I, are quite slow these days. I think we would have to have hired someone to do the running for us.

Now there’s a thought. People who are young, speedy and able to grab hold of the preferred items would be handy, very handy. Of course, you would likely spend the money that you had otherwise saved in hiring said people. However, it is a thought. That could be someone’s new line of business. I can think of so many products and items that we could own if only we were much more speedy of foot ourselves. Computers do come to mind. Lots of computers are much cheaper on the shelves only today. And now I have to admit something. I have never in my life owned a Mac computer. I have no clue about Mac memory, Mac notebooks, Mac hard drives, Mac anything. It is a total mystery to me. All I ever heard was that they were different as night and day from the standard PC and laptops. I have no clue.

Should I now try to find out? I have no idea.

Okay, I realize this is a little late for some places in the country but not all. Now, you have to be going to the fair anyway for this one but it does save some money for you. I tumbled to this one when I thought about it a little bit. Most things at the fair are outrageously priced. However, there are usually booths that are selling local canned goods, for instance. You can get some really good deals there.

I love walking through the booths anyway to see all the newest devices and services that are provided. You can find some pretty decent deals there too since they want to sell you something and they are having a huge sale right then, right there. Frankly, there are tons of promotional items too like pens, key rings, ball caps, calendars and writing paper. It’s a treasure trove of goodies if you look in the right places. I can come away with all sorts of things for free or little money doing that. Yes, I know. Do I really need the cap? No, but it’s fun to have it anyway. The pens are always needed, calendars too. We use those all the time.

The thing is that you can find low priced or free things everywhere. And there are always bargains for people who pay attention too. It’s the only reason I would go anywhere like that anymore.
