The original plan was to Green Bay for shopping. Last year, we went to Costco, Green Bay and bought a bunch of stuffs. It is quite a good deal, for example, I bought a 30-rolls bath tissue and use it for one year. For now, I still have two rolls left.
My roomate, Ben is from Green Bay, WI. I told that we are planning to Costco and TJ Maxx, Green Bay. He suggested we should go to Appleton, WI, which is 30 minutes further. There is a shopping area, call Fox River Mall. We can find Costco, TJ Maxx, Woodman's Food Market, and other stores around there. At last, we went to Appleton, and it turned out to be a good decision.
The first station was Costco Wholesale. I bought lots of snacks, such as dark chocolate, cookies, and mixed nuts. In addition, I bought lots of daily use, such as Finish dishwasher tabs, Oral-B toothbrush heads, glide floss, body wash, and lotion.
Lunch time, we went to the Fox River Mall, I had some Chinese fast food from Panda Express, with beef, shrimp and fried rice. We also walked in the mall, due to the limited time, we decided to spend more time in TJ Maxx store, which is few miles away.
In TJ Maxx, you can find lots of small stuffs, such as T-shirts, short pants, wallets, and other accessories. I bought a non-stick pan in TJ Maxx before and it's in a good quality. I used the pan for cooking most of the time.
The last station was Woodman's food market, I bought some Asian sauce or condiments for cooking purposes.
Anyway, we bought most of what we need and had a good shopping day!
