Default Can't go shopping anywhere...

Why is it... That a reefer can't go to a simple hardware store without leaving with hundreds of dollars in bits-n-pieces?

Went to princess auto for a 3.99 diamond wheel for the dremel... Of course I ended up grabbing a dozen other things in the dremel accessories aisles...

Walking out to the exit - Spy some skookum timers, grab a couple of those... Which happen to be right next to the 12v fans - but I wanted 120v, so walk to the other side, grab 4 - Get out right? Nope, behind me was a bunch of LED and cold cathode lights... Well I do need moonlights... At this point I can't carry everything - so I put everything down, to go get a cart...

At which point I walk by the 58$ diamond tile saw... Get the cart, diamond saw (awesome for fragging!), spare blades, all my other stuff... Spy the extension cords - well I need a new power strip... Grab 2 (they were cheap! And I always find a need for another).

At the till - my 3.99 diamond wheel turned into just shy of 200$

I need to start using ebay more, at least then I can't be shanghai'd by these product placement guru's!

Please tell me it's not just me!
