1. Great deals. I don't really enjoy shopping at all. For me, shopping takes too long because I want to find quality items for a great deal. For large items I buy, I have my list of criteria that the item must meet and then I begin the shopping. Sometimes I call up stores to see if they have what I'm looking for. Also I look online and research the item some more. I guess I'm just one of those people who wants to be totally pleased with the final purchase. I feel proud of myself if I get a great deal.
2. Easy recipes. Brian loves to bake. Yesterday we were bored and whipped up some homemade soft pretzels. They were quick and easy to make and taste yummy too.
