Store loyalty - gone

I do things now like shop at Rite-Aid.  Things like this make me feel like I'm in a foreign country.  In Chicago, there is a Walgreens on every corner.  I have to drive 10 miles to get a Walgreens!  Here in MD, Rite-Aid is everywhere and I've finally come to terms with this and now find myself reaching for the Rite-Aid add and ignoring Walgreens because I know I won't bother to drive there.

On the plus side, Rite-Aid does have some pretty good coupon deals!

Things just got nuttier

So one of the things about Baltimore that continues to astound me is the love people here have for the Ravens.  Now, I love football and I'm a huge fan of the Chicago Bears - but I genuinely think that Baltimore may be losing its mind.

I was at the grocery store today and saw a can of 'Old Bay' Seasoning (which I believe may go in every dish here) that was in a full-on Ravens label.  You could barely recognize it as Old Bay.  I forgot to take a photo.  rats.

However, this past weekend we were at Ace and chanced upon these lovelies.  Really?  Trash cans?  I'm telling you there is no store, shop, or public place that you won't see something for sale with a Ravens logo.


On the plus side, I did find a Matt Forte jersey at Good Will for Schatzi for $2.  Score!
