I freely admit that I made a mistake. I had several opportunities to purchase a snow blower earlier this winter. I had one in my hand, and in a moment of financial panic, let it go.
But, seriously, the big box stores are now stocking lawn mowers? Lawn mowers? We talkin' about lawn mowers? It's January. In the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes. Nobody is going to be cutting grass for 3 months, at the earliest. I need a snow blower now. What is the deal? Who makes these decisions? What is the sound reasoning behind this policy?
Maybe this country can't spend it's way out of this "financial crisis" because people can't buy the products they actually need (leave the internet and speedwaysales.com outta this. I have a strong aversion to having an item this large shipped and the price is still pretty steep).
I wonder how many people are turned away. After foolishly convincing themselves that shoveling is healthy and better for the environment or not buying a snow blower in July and decide to go the store to get one, only to find it's not possible.
Unreal.
