Speaking as a Certified Shopaholic TM . . . .

I LUV dollar-type stores, 1 Euro type stores, novelty stores, surplus stores, discount shops of ALL kinds. Believe me - - BELIEVE ME when I tell you that, if you'd see all the CR@P I bring back from all over the world, for gifts, etc. - - - an extension cord AIN'T EVEN ON THE DISTANT RADAR!!! I always fill up a 36" duffle bag, and sometimes another 24"/30" one, that I take empty on the outbound. I have a few rolls of blinking white Christmas type strings of lights that I bought cheap in Mexico for my den, to name a similar item.
