I don't really like the idea of having to pay a yearly membership fee in order to get entrance into this place, but what can you do? The savings here are just too great to forgo. They sell things in bulk, so make sure you have room to store all the stuff! While you might have to sacrifice some place in your house, you will still be happy with the savings this place adds up to as your savings build up. They have everything you need here. They not only carry groceries and toiletreis, but they carry electronic items, garedening supplies, and even clothing!

FashionBug at this place is very small store but has good selections for plus sizes. I usually go here to check out shoes, sandals and flipflops being a small framed person apart from sandals I find very less for me to buy over here. They are stylish and cheaper than branded stores. I dint find the running, walking shoes or that sort, but I found fashion footwear which are good.

(Yeah, RIGHT. The day Oprah buys jewelry at Target is the day I will be on tour and opening for Celine Dion).
Well, Queen O might not shop here, but I sure do! Here is why THIS Target, and IMO, this Target alone ROCKS. 1. Never, ever crowded. Although I suspect I deliberately avoid going during the "insanity days/hours". 2. I don't find the usual assortment of people who insist on shopping at Target only if they can drag with them every single child ever born into their family as they shop. Ah, yes, nothing like it. One woman, and 18 kids under the age of ten, a real joy to behold!! I just love when they scream/throw things/terrorize other poor shoppers and especially tick Pat off... (a guaranteed way to lose me as a customer) 3. Target always has what I am looking to find in stock, and usually on sale. 4. The sales clerks are not rude or freaks (like at some stores I will not mention!) I also love to watch the planes fly over the parking lot (you can see them flying low because O'Hare is just down the road). Keep up the good work, Target!

I used to always see this place on my way to work. One day I decided to see what this "spy" store was. Pretty amazing store. I wasn't really looking for a detective, any sort of protection, or any of the neat little gadgets they had -- but I never really thought any of that really existed outside of the movies. But I learned from this store that you can actually hire private investigators for any sort of concern you may have. A realy neat and unique service, in my opinion. Pretty cool place to check out. You never know what you may find here!

JC Penney is a great store to shop at for the entire family. Over the years, this store had been going down in terms of quality and presentation of their items. But I think over the past year, they have really stepped up and made themselves a great store once again. You can find things here for the entire family. They even carry lots of name brands, like Nike and Adidas. This particular store has also been newly renovated so the new look really adds to the step up in quality and service. Another good thing is that they are always running specials and you can really get some good deals here.

When my husband broke the heel on his shoe, he really wanted to get it fixed rather than buy a new pair. So we took it to these people. They were great! After they were done with the shoe, it looked like brand new. And it cost so much less than replacing the shoes with a new pair. Their work was great and the shoe lasted for a long time after that. I know you never think you may need such a service, but keeping this in mind is sure a great idea!
