wait. am i shopko’s target market?

May 31, 2008 Crystal im cool, medium, wisconsin

today i had to go to shopko’s optical center (they take my vision insurance) to get some paper work straighted out.

and then i started walking around the store.

and it was SO randomly nice.

it wasn’t crowded (even though it’s saturday). the prices were reasonable (i got a portable radio on clearance for $7.50!) and they had a wide selection (they have a Pay-Less shoe section as well as their own, which includes Nike products — like the bag i bought).

i used to wonder who the target market for shoko was. i mean they’re not as cheap as wal-mart. they’re not as high-end as Target and they’re not as small as wal-greens.

but i think i just figured out who they want to shop there.

me.

im not sure how i feel about it yet. but if you’re looking for a good deal on bras (they’re 40 percent off this weekend!) id recommend you stop by your local shopko.

just sayin’. (to be fair, i totally stole that phrase from my friend erin. (proof can be found at the end of this post) she’ pregnant AND she’s my friend. and she’s witty — so i stole her phrase. im shameless)

UPDATE: woah, i just looked shopko up on wikipedia and it states that the chain is based out of wisconsin. umm. i LIVE in wisconsin. see. i AM their target market!

May 29, 2008 Crystal im cool, short, wisconsin

so i got another blog.

for work.

it’s about politics (i KNOW. bor.ing).

but you should read it anyway — because i can make bor.ing fun. swear.

it’s (soon to be) linked on my blogroll or you can just click here (hopefully) to see it. you should also be able to find it via www.thenorthwestern.com if you’re feeling like exploring my paper’s web site (newly redesigned, no less!) 

i know. fun times.

p.s. i HATE the picture posted with it. i really am much prettier in real life.

UPDATE: so ya, the link isn’t really working on my blog roll. or in this post. but you really can find the blog on www.thenorthwestern.com. promise.

i’ll be sure to work on the link issue tomorrow.

UPDATE: The links should be working now.
