• Six Star

  I went to Albertsons at Poulsbo Village shopping centre after work. I got some stuff there and then I went over to Six Star, which is just a couple stores over from Albertsons, to have a last look around. The Six Star is having a going out of business clearence sale. I used to take the kids there when they were little tykes. The store basically didn't sell anything that cost more than ten dollars. The kids always wanted to get the $10 toys and I always wanted them to get the $1.59 toys. So we compromised and got the $1.59 toys plus CANDY. One thing I noticed about toys for kids is that they were generally good for about five minutes of amusement (at the most) whether they cost $1.59 or $39 so the cheap solution was best. Nowadays people go to Wallmart for their cheap toys, cleaning supplies and gewgaws and Six Star recedes into the past.
