A couple of local businesses are having big sales this weekend, providing you an opportunity to blow a reasonable amount of cash and walk away with a bunch of stuff that you didn’t actually need but really really wanted. You know, the way you did back in August of 2008.
Bailey/Coy Books just posted some news on Twitter: Broadway Market Video is celebrating their 25th anniversary as a video store by selling ten-video rental blocks at $24.99. They usually sell for $35, so this is a cut of some high percentage that I’m too lazy to figure out. You should stock up on future rentals this weekend; the sale runs from Friday to Sunday.
And Comics Dungeon, up in Wallingford, is having a sale from the 22nd through the 25th. Graphic novels will be 30% off, back issues will be 60% off, and all t-shirts will be $15, or $12 for kids sizes. Plus, they’ll have a bunch of local comics creators signing books at the store on Saturday.
This is going to be a great weekend to go out and support local businesses and walk away with a bunch of nerdy entertainment for yourself.
If you go to Wallingford to buy comics, you can read them at the 43rd BBQ and have fun eating good food and voting in the straw poll for $10 ($5 for kids).
City Kitchens is having it’s annual sale right now. If you need a left-handed stainless-steel olive pitter now might be the time to buy.
