Do not underestimate Kmart

I will let you on a secret. Before you purchase that book, check online if it is available at Kmart. Especially with new releases and international booksellers, chances are, the book is being sold at a fraction of the price at our humble everyday to-go store. 

In these COVID-19 days where we try to limit our locomotion, I am fortunate to have a friend who works at Kmart and is kind enough to check and pick up a book for me available at her branch. 

(This being said, I know it gives a different thrill and satisfaction to pick up that glossy new book at the airport which inevitably sells at least 50% more of the retail price at Kmart.)

Lovely surprise waiting for me in my pigeonhole.
