I love Big Lots friends and family sales !

Though I am just a friend of Big Lots, I am a good one. I try to shop at at least the closest one to me ( sometimes the three closest ) at least once a week. They have great prices every day not to mention when they mark down products that will be expiring within the next thirty days. I have gotten many food items for a dollar or less. As a matter of fact in the summer time I like to buy boxes of cereal at a quarter to fifty cents a box to take to the lake and let the kids feed the fish and ducks. A box of cereal each provides them with a wonderful time and the wildlife are most thankful too.Today however was a bit different than my usual visit. Today was their Friends and Family sale.The employees pass out coupons to friends and family and after the store would usually be closed Sunday evening anyone with a coupon can shop and get twenty percent off everything. Now twenty percent isn't really that much except when your neighborhood Big Lots gets a Broyhill buyout which includes an awesome huge ( Big like the one at the last supper according to certain child )dining room table with matching chairs which retailed at the Broyhill's showcase shop for between two thousand five hundred and three thousand dollars .( depending on whether the set includes two arm chairs or none) Big Lots had already taken forty percent off just because they are Big lots and thanks to the invitations I received from Eboni, Michelle, Tony ,and Stephanie. ( It is good to have lots of Big Lots friends) I got the table and six chairs for quite a discount. Of course I would like to say Thank You to all my Big Lots friends but In addition I need to thank Mike and my Dad. Dad was called to provide a truck for the table which wouldn't fit in the Aztec ( even making a third trip ) but also got trapped into helping carry the table in the house as it was at least five hundred pounds ( that is Mike and Dad's estimation. All I know is that it is way too heavy for me to even lift a corner of it off the floor). So, thank you all . I truly appreciate it !

Here is a picture though the table is minus one extension leaf
