So, I'll probably be going cross-border tomorrow with the g-unit .. just something to do. Neither of us are huge shoppers so it's not like we're gonna be wearing/popping 3 shirt collars, wearing 6 pairs of socks, and bringing back 3 gallons of the REAL weed killer shit in the trunk...
The only real big ticket item is a duvet/comforter, preferably down, etc... Probably spending no more than $100-150 max for a queen.
The plan is:
- Leave TO around 7-8am, hit Queenston
- 9am: head straight to a Target store that's at Niagara Falls Blvd/I290 (only cuz I know where it is)
- Probably head straight to Waterloo, NY's Premium outlets which is about 350km away.
- 11-12pm: Shop until 3pm, leave for Buffalo
- 5pm: head to Boulevard Mall, Fashion Outlets Niagara Falls
- 6-7pm: head back to Queenston bridge, go home.
(We've never been to the Waterloo Premium Outlets, hence why we're overshooting and going to the Buff stuff on the way back.)
Not too crazy about going down 'blind'... I won't have 3G, and my iPad2 has offline maps, but no freaking GPS. I do have an old Garmin though that'll keep us on track. (I just don't have 'online' connectivity, i.e. I don't know where all the Targets are along the route, etc...)
Any recommendations on where to go for comforters/duvets in US besides Target? I'll get her to check out the prices at Zellers/Bay ... Already checked out the Ikea ones .. (Have an older Ikea one, I like it.)
Doesn't 'really' matter that the exchange isn't that good... Cuz I'm still doing it old school ... I have US cash sitting at home...

Kinda far to go for a duvet.
Go to Boulevard Mall. Its about halfway between NF and Buffalo. Its a nicer mall and it is in an area with a ton of big box and other stores. Walmart, Target, Sears, etc.

Oh and Queeston bridge has construction going on so it can be a pain to cross. I always use the Peace Bridge myself.

It's not always about saving hundreds of dollars for cross-border ... I'd rather drive to MTL and spend 1-2 nights there, but we don't have enough time.
This is starting to be a headache ... Waterloo,NY is 350km from TO ... Fuck it, we may as well just hang around Buffalo.
If we do, then we can do the Peace Bridge (overshoot south), then make our way back upwards towards LQ or rainbow bridge...

this post is like an epic fail, what in the fuck is going on here?
Go to Niagra Falls, shop at outlets + walden, have a good cheap lunch at the olive garden, STFU and come back.
