8. Thank you, UTUSN. Ollie's is an overstock store so one has to be careful

Nov 9

I've spotted quite a few broken items still for sale at Ollie's which anything broken should be taken off the shelves.

Although I've picked up that nice calendar, I got a few 60" bamboo outdoor scarecrows, some Christmas garland and some years ago I snagged Pete Souza's Obama An Intimate Portrait coffee table book.

I don't shop there very often and there's nothing wrong with downsizing. In fact, I've been working on decluttering the kitchen and living room this entire weekend.

It's okay!
