First stop was Value Village where we scored silicone bakeware -- a muffin "pan" and a loaf "pan" -- for only $3.99 each!! We also scored a USB-powered Canon LiDE scanner (an older model, admittedly, but still useful) for $12.99; a trip to the dollar store next door provided the needed cable. (And I can confirm that after a couple of hours of twiddling and downloading and installing, it does in fact work with our laptop.)
Funniest line of the day: while searching through dresses for kiddo, she declared of one, "Put it back. It's too pretty; everyone will think I'm a movie star."
At Jysk we picked up something for kiddo's bedroom-to-be (we are planning a reno, and considering swapping her bedroom and the office... we'll see how that works), and a king-size pillowcase, which fits the kid-size body pillows. The dollar store in the same mall provided a collapsable steamer basket for $2. We also popped into Curious Comics to oggle the new toys and pick up a comic box and some bags for kiddo to store her growing collection.
On the way home, we stopped at Russell Farm Market (as usual) and picked up a HUGE stalk of brussell sprouts (seriously, the thing was only a few inches shorter than kiddo) for $1.69. Kiddo even agreed to try the brussell sprouts! [Worth $1.69 on its own -- and she did indeed try them. Jury is out on whether she liked them, but she ate about half of one.] We also got oodles of red peppers (4 1/2 lbs) for $2.20 and enough fresh produce to fill two bags for under $20.
