It does bother me a bit to pay $12.00 to get into our boat show and
$13.00 for the upcoming motorcycle show. After that will be the
Sportsman show with something for everyone. ( smaller boats, campers
and atvs, fishing, hunting gear etc.

You can sometimes get free passes if you know a friendly dealer who is
exhibiting at the show.


We went to the Lee County boat show a few years ago. We managed to get
out without buying a boat but we did buy a $1600 swing that prompted
building another tiki bar.


You have watch out on shopping trips. We needed new carry on suitcases.
So went to,a sale at Penny’s and $4800 later had the two,suitcases and two
new leather couches/ hideabeds. Sale at less than 1/2 price.


I went down to LazBoy with a coupon for a $599 chair and the one that
"ain't arrove yet" (obscure movie reference, who has it?) cost a
grand. (BS "List" was $1300 and change). I did get one big enough for
me and Deuce. We get jammed up in this one.

I am usually not bad shopping but I can't get out of Sams or Costco
for less than $300.
