Frugal MacDougal

I admit it, I’m cheap. I’ll splurge on some things like travel or a great jacket but in general I like a bargain - even more when it comes from being green. So this weekend, I had to stock up on kitchen and bath supplies because I moved into my own place after living with roommates and woke up on Sunday morning without a spoon. Image: Me scooping out chicken salad with a tea infuser.

So I walked to a nearby Goodwill and checked out what they had first. Score…four white, modern Crate & Barrel dinner plates and a bag of silverware for eight bucks (this is San Francisco so that’s probably even high for some). Other green bargains I uncovered:

Target: I love my new spatula (is that weird?). It’s from their Natural Home line and it’s made from recycled stainless steel with a bamboo handle and was like $3. They’ve got organic sheets too in gorgeous colors. Also: I didn’t want to go with a PVC-based shower curtain so I found an EVA-based one (no toxic phthalates or BPA) and it doesn’t have that fume-y smell the other ones do. Target had them on the cheap.

Macys: They have a deal on organic towels right now for $20, plush and large ones too. Considering I’ve seen nonorganic ones (think pesticides running off soil into groundwater and ending up in your shower) for the same price, I say this is a steal. Check West Elm too and save a dollar.

As near as I can tell, this is the Wal-Mart of beer/liquor stores. Why do I say that?First of all, price. The prices on their high-gravity beers were about the lowest I've seen anywhere, with Delirium Nocturnum and Tremens being about $7.50 each, and Arrogant Bastard at $4.99. On the beer side of the store, the prices weren't quite as good (Rogue bombers for $5.29) but the prices for the high-gravity stuff will get me back in there. Secondly, the selection. The other places I've seen in Tennessee tend to have only a single four-foot bookshelf with high-gravity stuff, but here there was a fairly wide mesh rack filled with all types of beer, and several case stackouts with specials next to the racks. Several items were out of stock (like Old Rasputin and Stone RIS), but even with just what was there, I found plenty of good beers to try. 70-236 Thirdly, and this is the major negative -- the atmosphere and orderliness of the place. Not to mince words: I hate Wal-Mart. I don't shop there unless I have to. (I say this as a former employee, to boot.) Frugal McDougal is confusingly oriented, with aisles that are not always parallel, and lots of sharp corners that make it difficult to get a cart through. Fine if you're getting a bottle or two to take home that afternoon, not so much if you're stocking up on a few-times-a-year trip. My fellow customers were rude and pushy, and the overall atmosphere was fairly unpleasant. They also only have one bathroom, over on the beer side, and it doubles as a broom closet. 640-553 They also stock quite a bit of wine and liquor -- my fiancee picked up quite a bit of stuff she'd been itching to try. Checkout was painless; we spent nearly two hundred dollars there, and everything was neatly packed into cases for easy travel. One of the employees even carried it out to my car for us. I didn't discuss beer with the employees on the liquor side, but the guy on the beer side chatted ably about various stouts they carried, and seemed reasonably knowledgable overall. 642-524 The only reason the service score isn't higher is because they wouldn't let me split the four-packs of Belgians. I was hoping to make a mixed pack for tasting, but had to settle with just taking a single four-pack with me. Not as friendly to the beer geek as I would have liked. I'll go back again, but it's also not in the best part of town -- as we were sitting in the car deciding on a plan of action after getting our beer, a loud argument broke out between two individuals right next to my car. Seemed like the kind of place where that happens a lot.
