Reply to Looking for old local commercial by DCharizard

I think that was the Building 19 commercial, I can’t remember his name… wait, I think it was Jerry

From Wikipedia:

The “closeout stores” had been known throughout New England for selling an eclectic assortment of items at drastically discounted prices, as well as self-effacing advertising that made fun of the founder, Jerry Ellis. Many of the items were factory irregulars, discontinued models, post-expiration-date, damaged, or less than perfect in some other way, but some new merchandise was offered as well. The stores capitalized on the quick cash flow needs of other businesses, obtaining most of their merchandise from fire sales, overstocks, customs seizures, liquidations, and bankruptcy courts.

Reply to Anyone here old enough to remember Mass having one area code? by Fisk75

I remember when you picked up the receiver and an operator asked you what number you wanted. When I was three I told her I wanted to talk to Grandma, I don’t remember how but she was able to figure out who my grandparents were, in another town, and connected me. The family talked about it for years

Reply to People who still regularly grocery shop at Stop and Shop, why? by [deleted]

I don’t shop a whole lot so I don’t have a keen awareness of price, but this week Walmart was out of my favorite cereal so I ran into S&S to grab one. Their price was exactly a dollar more than Walmart

If I pay a dollar more for one simple item, what must it be like for a whole cart full of groceries?

No you are absolutely not allowed to sleep in your car in a Walmart. This is terrible misinformation. What may be confusing you is that some Walmarts will permit ou to park a camper overnight. The number of these is dwindling because local communities are no longer allowing it.
