Ace Hardware

I go down to grab a couple of necessary items to prepare for Rita and on the outside is a big hand-written sign letting me know that anything I purchase for the hurricane is not returnable. On top of that, I grab a lighter with a $1 coupon attached and the girl at the counter lets me know that they are not honoring any type of coupon during the hurricane.

Corner market

I then go in to the corner market to buy a few small items and I see that all of the goods have new price tags on them. Cans of tuna for $3.50?

Glad I stocked up, and I will be shopping a Loews from now on. Screw you Ace and Corner Market. Loews rocked today - they were prepared and seemed to have ordered extra supplies for those of us staying in Houston.
