Shopping Shopping Shopping!!!!!

Yes 7th August 2010, was THE DAY for going to SAM'S (Equivalent of our Metro Outlets) where you get everything in bulk, but unlike Metor we just need to have a SAMS card; 31$ to be able to shop there ) , and WAL MART ( Equivalent of our BIG BAZAAR ).

Hari, who did his Under Graduation and now pursuing his MS here ( had been in LSU for 7 YEARS ) . He was my brothers friend when , my brother was doing his MS here. Also, he is Priyanka's (My Roommate in Nicholson APT) family friend.

So about 10:30 AM Hari ( In his antique car), Priya, Trina and myself stared off to SAM"S, a 10 minute drive from campus. We bought all the bulk items right from Dishwasher Gel to Tissue Papers there , with a bill of 243 odd dollars. Hair, kept on giving a running commentary of what to buy and what not to :-). By the time we were done with shopping it was like 12:30 PM odd. He suggested us to have lunch, and took us to INDIA restaurant; a buffet meal costing 13$. Treated my taste buds with some stuffs close to Idli and Dosa, and somehow I had lost the appetite so did not hog much as per Indian Standards ;-).

We next stopped at a MALL, it is very huge. Quite a few things, in that place seemed affordable and cost less than the price back home. We stopped by AT&T (Cell Phone Network Company) for checking out the options. Took a de tour around the 1st Floor, and headed back to our next destination.

From there, we made a move to WAL MART ( even if we need a safety pin, here in Baton Rouge, this is the only place we can buy it). They don't have small customized shops just for groceries, stationeries or diary products. So, a visit to WAL MART at least once in a week is inevitable. Hari, passed a comment saying; he feels he is at home when he visits WAL MART, since he has never missed a visit to this place in past 7 years :-D.

We got some basic house hold stuffs like door mats, dustbins, sleeping mattress etc here along with some groceries and stationeries. The bill was around 253$. After this we had the ominous task for loading Hari's antique car with all our items. Upon successful, completion we took snaps with our Shopping items.

On the way back home, we stopped by to have Chocolate milk shake :-).

Hair and Priya were already getting dizzy and losing their minds, this was evident because they were talking stuffs they also did not understanding. Trina and I, were not even moving an inch sitting at the back seat, because we were stuffed with items more than a soft toy :-)

At the end of the day, I felt I had a eventful shopping experience and don't have to shop much in the coming weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks ;-)
