Free Shipping or Not Free Shipping, OfficeDepot.com

I wanted to order a box of paper from Office Depot, because I remember how quick their service was when I use to order paper for my previous employer.  Literally the next day or two.  I'm in need of copy paper severely.  So I point my browser to www.OfficeDepot.com, and sure enough they are having a sale on copy paper.

that's like paying $3 per real of 500 sheets and it clearly states FREE Shipping

But I got disappointed because when I tried to check out the website charges me $9.95 for shipping.  I guest I'll go to ebay and pay $33-$35 for the same box and get free shipping.  Just have to wait more than couple of days.


So, the lesson here, double check your total when shopping with officedepot.com 

But don't write them off the list, just contact the webmaster like I did, and hopefully they'll fix that hickup.

More $3 tops at Walmart.

Found these $3 tank tops at Walmart and grabbed them for my daughter.  Just something for her to wear around the house or so.  As new season comes in, retailers are making room for new inventory.  So that means, this is the perfect time to shop for good deals.




Kroger on tom hill sr blvd - deli review

So a friend just moved in the neighborhood and we wanted to grab lunch after getting our nails done on Tom Hill Sr. Blvd.  I suggested to go across the street to Panera Bread Restaurant but my friend wanted to show off the deli inside Kroger.  I must admit this Kroger far exceeded my expectations.  They have a soup and salad bar.  And friend's favorite is the cheese and olive section.  We ordered your typical one entry and two side dish.   To my excitement, I wasn't paying attention to the service at first.  But I did notice how we had to wait for our food for so long and how slow the server was.  Maybe she was tired and nearing her clock out.  So I dismissed that.  But what I couldn't dismissed, was the food, was serve cold and seemed like it has been seating dry for so long.  I was really disappointed when I took a bite of the so called chicken tenders, they tasted like they just left the fridge.  That's how cold the meat was.  I'm not the one to complain.  but my friend did.  

So the server, offered to please us by giving us both fresh and hot chicken tenders. But what really made my day, surprisingly good, was the free chicken salad they gave us.   I should have ordered this instead.  The chicken salad had grapes in it and it was deliciously made.  So Kroger did made up for my bad lunch experience.  But I don't think I'll eat there for lunch again, but I will definitely buy more of their chicken salad.


hot chicken fingers

So on my way out, I did grab a bag of apples for less than $5 bucks
which my daughter loves to snack on.
