THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED

THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED
PERHAPS IT IS BECAUSE HE MARCHES TO THE BEAT OF A DIFFERENT DRUMMER

All that GLITTERS...

Christmas is just around the corner. The stores are buzzing with shoppers trying to get bargains. This brings up a major difference between women and men. To a man, a bargain is getting something he specifically went to the store to buy, at a cheaper price than he would have usually paid for it... for example... a three-pack of Jockey shorts, usually $18, for $14. A woman's idea of a bargain is seeing something she never wanted, ever, but it was marked down so much that it had to be bought... example, anything from Home Goods. She proudly brings home her purchase and announces "I saved you $85 on this Etruscan Bedspread protector."

So, even though Mr. Macy and Mr. Nordstrom are not Bernie Madoff, they nevertheless will not lose sleep at night worrying about selling you something you don't need, at a price you can't afford, and will regret someday soon. It is up to you to guard your own wallet during these frenetic last shopping days 'til Christmas. Make a list, check it twice... and don't bother buying your husband Jockey shorts, he already found them on sale. As for you men out there, size does matter...small, as in jewelry, is King.
