A few Wednesday ago, I was in Blaine for a pickle pickup. It went well.
Afterwards, I had two quick errands to complete before heading back to my hotel room for a work meeting:
- Grab lunch
- Get some drinks and snacks
I visited this Walgreens first, followed by Arby's for lunch. Perfect!
There was lots of parking in this plaza. I backed into a spot and headed over to this store.
I was immediately greeted by Easter items. I was pleased that cute Squishmallows were a part of this welcome squad.
I briefly looked at the nail care section. It was great. There was nail polish remover in a number of forms, polish, gel stickers, fake nails, and more.
There were more Squishmallows in the seasonal Easter aisle. It was also Valentine's Day, so I saw candy for both occasions. I did not buy any Valentine's Day merchandise. I decided to wait a day, to take advantage of clearance sales that likely would happen.
I needed pop. I got a couple of two-litre bottles. I was thrilled to see Diet A&W root beer. It's not as common as Diet Dr Pepper. I took a bottle each of these flavours. I also got popcorn.
I headed to the checkout. There was one person ahead of me. I didn't have to wait long.
I got a woman who was competent. She ended up putting a bottle in a plastic bag. It was different. I would have double-bagged both bottles. To each, her own.
I paid with a credit card. At Walgreens, the payment kiosk prompts whether you want to pay in USD or CAD with a Canadian credit card. I always go with USD and have my credit card do the exchange.
I got a coupon for $7 off my next purchase of at least $15. I thanked the woman and headed to my car.
This store had everything that I needed. I wish that I had more time to browse. The next time I'm back in Blaine, I hope that I can take my time shopping here.
