Shopping

You would think that 2XL = XXL when it comes to clothing sizes but there is a sneaky and subtle difference that gives them two totally different fits.

Amarillo's gas prices are starting to creep up as spring and summer are getting close. Drivers will notice rise of nearly 4 cents a gallon. GasBuddy's daily reports Amarillo's gas has jumped up 27 cents a gallon, since last month.

When it comes to the stocking, sometimes you just have to give Santa a little help.  I remember back in the day stockings were filled with oranges and nuts and candy canes, but now days, they are fill with all sorts of things.

I am one of those get your Christmas shopping done early type people. I usually start the last week of October and I'm done by the end of November. Which nothing has changed. I'm moving right along with those gift purchases, however this morning I realized something that made me very sad.

Christmas seems to be a taboo word until at least Halloween passes, but let's face it, it's coming.  We know it is coming and we can't stop it.  However, we can be prepared and get a jump start on our Christmas shopping early.  Here are some amazing events coming up where you can check a ton of things off your gift list, plus pick up some amazing decor, clothing and even food!

When it comes to saving money on certain groceries, Panhandle Salvage is my go to place. When I needed some produce or fruit or even milk, I would always find myself heading over to 58th and Western to grab some on the go. They were exceptionally discounted.

A new twist to an old favorite shopping experience is opening in Amarillo at the end of August.

Back to School shopping is expensive and even more expensive when you have more than one child. That's why each year the State of Texas offers a tax free weekend to help families save money for those back to school needs.

With all the drama with strays and rescues over the last month, it's good to know that we have a wonderful no-kill shelter in Amarillo and that is the Amarillo SPCA. If you love animals and you love garage sales, then have I got the event for you. You can support this wonderful organization by shopping or donating items.

Grocery shopping is a necessary evil, but what if it could be done without ever walking into or even going to the store. It's finally here, a new grocery delivery service in the Amarillo Area.

It looks like the days of the big department stores is going by the wayside. Unfortunately, Westgate Mall could be losing another one of its stores.

I don't know about you, but I find myself saddened at the amount of long time local businesses in Amarillo closing their doors for good.
