I loatheI would have bought the candle I smelled when I walked into the store if the salesperson knew what the fragrance was. She said she smelled too many candles to tell the difference between scents.11/1/2012 9
I loatheThe constant announcements about opening a Kohl’s charge card to get 15, 20 or 30 percent off today’s purchases.

The Frugal Muse is not like Barnes and Noble –there is no coffee shop. The books are gently used, and the atmosphere is peaceful.
