Because more is more

January 7, 2010

Look what showed up on my front porch via UPS yesterday afternoon.

Guess which member of my household discovered that Williams-Sonoma has their peppermint bark on sale?

Yum! Now I need a snack! I’d say that any snack that comes right to my doorstep is a good one…

2 Erika January 7, 2010 at 3:28 am

3 aggiejenn@ReflectingHim January 7, 2010 at 3:35 am

4 Holly January 7, 2010 at 5:01 am

LOL, Aggiejenn, your comment is exactly what I was thinking only replace Singapore with the Philippines!

5 Krysia January 7, 2010 at 6:09 am

I love that stuff!! (great purchase)

6 Monica January 7, 2010 at 6:52 am

It couldn’t be more obvious if the packages were camoflouged! (Did I spell that right? It’s so not a word I use!)

7 Jamie January 7, 2010 at 7:49 am

A new thing for P to stockpile.

8 Pam January 7, 2010 at 8:00 am

Wow!!!! it will require a lot of shredding
to combat that!!!

9 Mary January 7, 2010 at 8:04 am

Yummy!!!! We get that every year. It’s the best!!!

10 rhonda January 7, 2010 at 8:15 am

I am ever so thankful my man does not like to order online.

11 Jessica January 7, 2010 at 8:21 am

Thank you for making me smile this morning…I really needed it!

12 Jessica January 7, 2010 at 8:28 am

I’m guessing it wasn’t either of the Zhu- Zhu pets or Caroline…

13 Kim January 7, 2010 at 8:31 am

Yummy!

14 Lorie January 7, 2010 at 8:42 am

Hee heee. Last Christmas fling!

15 Sunday Stilwell January 7, 2010 at 8:44 am

I am guessing it wasn’t Caroline.
Then again, kids these days are pretty fast on the computer.

16 Kc January 7, 2010 at 8:56 am

He’s consistent. And, that’s comforting in a way…right? :)

17 Marla Taviano January 7, 2010 at 9:00 am

The P-Meister!

18 daniella January 7, 2010 at 9:05 am

Oh man, don’t let him go to Cosco then! They have lots of it, peppermint chocolate, on sale too!

19 Traci@TotalMomsense January 7, 2010 at 9:12 am

This is the first year in a lot of years I didn’t get some for Christmas from a student- can I say- one of the BEST Christmas gifts ever from students. Maybe he’s planning ahead and saving you some shopping. Ha ha.

You need a t-shirt that says “My husband shopped at Williams Sonoma and all I got was peppermint bark”. The least he could have done was pick you up some of their cute measuring cups or something. Enjoy!!

21 Kathy January 7, 2010 at 9:34 am

You gotta love him!!!! And I’m sure he got a great deal!!!!! :)

22 Michelle January 7, 2010 at 9:38 am

I would ONLY expect it to be for P since it is in bulk!

23 Sarah January 7, 2010 at 9:43 am

I’m guessing P. One box wouldn’t do. But 4.

24 the domestic fringe January 7, 2010 at 9:48 am

Mmmmm…..peppermint bark in bulk!

Enjoy.

yeah, yeah, YEAH!!!!

This makes me so very. happy. for. you!!!

enjoy!

26 Megan January 7, 2010 at 10:00 am

Having previously worked at a Williams-Sonoma for 5 years, you know the economy really is taking a hit if they have Peppermint-Bark on SALE for $10 a tin this long after Christmas …

27 wanda January 7, 2010 at 10:17 am

P……a man who recognizes the importance of bulk shopping!

If you could only train him to buy your shoes in bulk!

The ladies would be lining up to steal him!

28 Melanie January 7, 2010 at 10:58 am

They make the best peppermint bark. I can understand the weakness. :>)

29 Shelly the Chic Crafty Chick January 7, 2010 at 11:09 am

Well, at least it was on sale, right? I’ve never tried their peppermint bark before. I may have to give it a try. That is if there is any left after that big bulk purchase. LOL Y’all enjoy!

30 Liz January 7, 2010 at 11:54 am

Oh, that is just too MUCH! :D

31 Amanda @ Serenity Now January 7, 2010 at 12:28 pm

Is P’s bulk-buying addiction flaring up again? My own personal shopaholic habits have flared some since I got some Christmas money…but no cases of peppermint bark are on my doorstep. Yet. ;)

32 Courtney January 7, 2010 at 12:32 pm

Ha ha! I just read that instead of doing the Global Bazaar section that Target usually does in January and February, they are doing ‘The Great Save’ which is going to be in their seasonal section. It’s going to be…..wait for it……BULK SUPPLIES!!! They are competing with Costco and Sam’s Club. But….most of the stores are even going to have Ralph Lauren polos and a few other name brand clothing items!
You can google it. There was an article on Yahoo this morning.
P will be in Buy in Bulk Heaven.

33 Gina E January 7, 2010 at 12:46 pm

My husband has the exact same affinity for all things that include the words “X-LARGE” “xx% MORE” or “BULK.” Your post cracks me up!

34 Kellie January 7, 2010 at 12:50 pm

At least he has good taste!!!

35 janmary, n ireland January 7, 2010 at 1:02 pm

As this delight has failed to appear yet on our shores, I need DETAILS – smell, taste, deliciousness…..

Just the name is making me hungry, and I don’t even know what it tastes like!

36 Terry a.k.a. Pink January 7, 2010 at 1:43 pm

ROFL!!!! You mean he ONLY ordered 4!!! He is slipping….rofl

37 abby January 7, 2010 at 1:43 pm

OMW!!! Williams-Sonoma’s peppermint bark is the BEST!!! I could live on it. I’m pretty sure I would have fallen over if that had been in my mailbox! ENJOY!!!

38 Married to an Aussie in OK January 7, 2010 at 2:32 pm

LOL! Awesome!

39 Mama Bub January 7, 2010 at 3:19 pm

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear.

I can just say the *baby* needs the bark, right? We can’t deny the BABY.

40 Tracey January 7, 2010 at 3:29 pm

At least you get scrumptious Peppermint Bark. All my hubs buys in bulk is boxes of ShamWow’s that contain 18 in each box.

41 JessicaMcG January 7, 2010 at 4:29 pm

My family loves that stuff. We get it every year and are very careful not to open it until Christmas day, lest it disappear before then.

42 Zandor January 7, 2010 at 5:00 pm

Peppermint bark is so awesome.

43 Indiana Keetha January 7, 2010 at 5:23 pm

LOL!!! That’s the way my hubby buys Archway Wedding Cakes at Christmas time – - – only I do believe he buys even MORE boxes of them than that!

44 Tonggu Momma January 7, 2010 at 5:51 pm

My husband brought home three tins before the holidays. Unfortunately, I had to run out to purchase, then hide, a fourth tin in order to surreptitiously sneak peppermint bark back into the opened tins. You know, so that no one knew how much peppermint bark I had *really* eaten.

45 Crystal & Co January 7, 2010 at 9:34 pm

I was just thinking today how much I love and miss the Williams-Sonoma store. It has been four children ago since I shopped there. They have such awesome stuff! Happy Eating!

Crystal

Wow, Caroline already has her own credit card for online shopping…or was it her stockpiling father?
