Collectively, I have visited seven of the 25 stores listed ~ I have window-shopped at three of them ~ I have shopped (online & purchased) at three of these establishsments ~ I have secretly harbored a desire to “be a baller to buy out the store” at two of the 25…..and I have tallied a bill no-where-near the pricetags listed!
