I see that you too are visting the Bay Area. I’m down in Palo Alto. OK — on the count of three you wave south and I’ll wave north. 1, 2, 3…..

Whee!

The picture is awesome!!

I actually have a relative who will go out and buy four boxes of cereal that she has never and will never eat because she finds a coupon that says “buy three, get one free”.

Hmmm…thanks for reminding me I need to pick up some tuna! As for the day after Thanksgiving Day sales, I don’t give in to them. I save all my shopping until almost the very last minute. December 23rd to be exact.

Have a great time visiting in the Bay Area — did you read that SF Chronicle article…? There’s an article about all the advertisements San Francisco is putting out in Los Angeles…trying to get all of you people in SoCal to spend tourism dollars up north here. Woohoo! It’s.working….

adding to what steve said…I’m in Berkeley — after you wave south…wave east!

WFME: Big Sales! (S.F. Edition)

I like it when other people who write witty columns share my views. Big Sales! is such a post. I equate it to another great sales gimic. “Free” shipping if you spend $25 dollars at Amazon or other online retailers….
