I'm usually in and out of Sears with just about everything on my list in about 20 minutes. It's not anywhere near the nightmare I hear about at other stores. You get a free tool bag with a $20 tool purchase--it's a small tool bag, but the nephews LOVE getting a REAL craftsman tool bag and it doesn't cost me a dime.

My dad is a morning person. He's always up at 3 AM. Since he's retired, he spends most of his morning between Menards, Lowes, Home Depot. Just chatting it up with other retiree's and vets. I usually give him a list and he does some shopping for me--he insists that he enjoys it More power to him!
That doesn't sound so bad. Do you live in a smaller community? Around here, it's more a mosh pit kind of a thing.
