But you might also check for your dog food at Pet Supplies Plus, recently opened next to Big Lots. I don't know who owns it, but the lady that manages it is just precious (and their prices are great).

A friend of mine told me that they have a shampooing center where you bathe your own pooch and they supply all the condiments. The cost is very reasonable. Beats the heck outta having to clean your bathtub, not to mention the rest of the house after giving the family dog a bath. Just another commercial for Pet Supplies Plus….

The downtown shopping district, in which I live, is made up of only locally owned businesses. Most of us fight to keep it that way. But then we have to keep them in business by actually using their services, paying a little extra (which I justify by thinking I am saving on gas to the Target 6 miles away)and sucking up the inconvenience of store-hopping to find exactly what we 're looking for. I do love Target, but the one thing I've noticed is that if I don't go there we still have everything we need.If I do go there, I can't leave without spending an average of $80-100 and having bags full of things that we don't need - but want.

Of course one of my favorite ways of shopping is at online stores and for all the frugal reasons AT mentioned in his <a target="_blank" href="http://www.atomictumor.com/2007/01/31/on-being-an-online-consumer/" rel="nofollow">post</a>. Harry's Aquarium has a self-serve dog bathing station that they charge you $10 to use. Yep, I even like to go browse Target just for something to do.
