We were off doing a bit of shopping over the weekend for a few home related items. I could use a lawnmower but will probably just get my old one fixed up. It needs a bit of work but there is no sense in spending a few hundred bucks when I get through a season for $40 in repairs.

When we were out at a few of the box stores I noticed that many of them still  had their outdoor goods on sale for the spring. One store in particular had things like outdoor furniture, outdoor cushions, tables, chairs and even power tools. I can't imagine that those sales will last too much longer. By early to mid May everything will be back to full price. If you are thinking about picking some swag for the backyard at a good price, times ticking.
