Sock sale mania

Yesterday, we headed out for the annual sock sale in Northfield, VT at Cabot Hosiery. We were an hour early and made it to just 4 people shy of standing by the door. Next year we're going to aim for the vestibule.
 Anyway, at 8:30, we headed on in. I made a beeline for the shot sock table and Russ headed up front to grab a bag. 15 minutes later and $70 poorer, we were on our way to the Mazzillis for homemade donuts. The grandkids helped sort socks and we are home today with way too many socks. The Mazzillis have a huge pile of mismatches to wear and destroy while doing chores. 
 I have dozens to give to the family and I plan to bring a large box of 40+ pairs to work. We like bargains, quantity, and great deals, I guess. 
On Thursday, we raided Penney's and filled a cart with maternity shirts for my clients. I think we bought 100, spent $19, and saved $3000.Yes, those numbers are real.
