FRIDAY SOMETHING
The prices are rightWe went on the road this week to bring you, gentle readers, more news on the very thing we detest most this time of year: shopping.
Braving the after-Christmas sales at Valley View Mall, we came up with a list of our favorite reindeer remnants. See for yourself why these items are still in half-price plentitude:
\ Radio Shack's own "Dancin' Feet" - The sound-activated toy that keeps on groovin' long after you've stopped! Was $9.95, now $4.95.
\ Hickory Farms' fruitcakes and plenty of 'em - Large loaves half-priced at $4.50, small loaves slashed from $1.99 each to two for 99 cents. Make great doorstops!
\ Wacky items from Spencer Gifts - T-shirts featuring Nelson or "He's Tan, Rested and Ready! Nixon in '88," only $7.96 each. "Happy Holidays" toilet paper, $2.49 a roll; "Happy Holidays" massage oils, complete set for $6.49.
\ "Hit Guitar," the electronic air guitar at K&K Toys - Why play the air guitar when you can jam with the real thing (not)? "Fully moveable neck allows playing in all positions." $9.95. Bonus tip: Super Mario Brothers Princess Shampoo, another Nintendo product, reduced from $2.49 to 99 cents.
