So yesterday I ventured to CompUSA to see if I could get some good deals, since the entire chain is liquidating. Seeing all the signs everywhere for 10% to 30% off, I thought for sure I’d come out a winner. Armed with my trusty cell phone and amazon.com, I did some price comparison. CompUSA, as it turns out, was so overpriced that even their liquidation prices are no match for internet retailers. The entire time I was in the store, I never saw people walking around with merchandise they had selected to purchase even though the store was full. It was just full of people looking at prices, talking about how their stuff is still expensive.
No wonder their business went the way of Nobody Beats The Wiz. I’m just surprised it had lasted 23 years. I refuse to believe they survived solely on people who needed a serial PCI card the same day.

Folgers at $8 for 2.5 pounds comes to about 6.4 cents per cup. Am I crazy? Yes.
Last week while returning home from Syracuse, I found a machine in a gas station restroom off of 81 near Harrisburg. You put a quarter in, turn the nozzle to the scent you want, and push the plunger in. The scents are “Polo”, “Drakkar”, “Obsession”, “Eternity”, and “Polo Sport”.
