Looking for small-footed men???

At least two of you have husbands who are not humongous...

I'm looking for a pair of men's 9 or 9.5 dress shoes, ideally black. To be worn for several hours on Sept. 13th, by Aidan, with his borrowed suit, at his grandfather's memorial service.

The black shoes I bought him 6 months ago for my mom's service are now at Goodwill, because they were 7.5 or 8. HOw dare he grow?

Since we really have no place for him to wear dress shoes (unless he gets to go to a dance with his girlio...although I think you have to be in high school to attend high school dances...not **this** high school, but **a** high school), I hate to purchase another pair, even at WalMart prices.

I'm also looking for a size 16 or 18 dress shirt...white would be safest, but a pattern/stripe would work as well....short sleeve (AAidan hates long sleeves plus I don't forsee a huge cold snap) that he could wear with a suit jacket (dark blue or black-I have a hard time telling-with a barely contrasting pin stripe).

...also at BigLots...

Annie's organic mac and cheese (not that I think it really matters at that level of food) and organic spaghetti sauce (which was really yummy on the Barilla Spinach and Cheese Tortellini for 1.30). All told, tortellini with sauce ended up costing less than $3 for four of us. Also, for those ofyou who buy bread, BL had 100% whole wheat for 1.40/loaf (my kids are begging me not to bring any more panera into our house). And cans of organic lentil soup for $1/can (for me, that's 3-4$ for soup for a meal, probably less expensive than if I made it myself if I include the energy to run the stove, oven, or crock pot.

I love BL.....otoh, they have stopped carrying the DebbieLongWhiteBaskets and are now carrying a modernized version and slightly raised their prices on them. Otooh (on the other other hand), they are a neater look and are still less expensive than the TraditionalDebbieLongWhiteBaskets at Walmart.

Zyrtec at Big Lots

for $2 for 14, 10mg tablets.

Also, puffs plus tissues for $1.60 for 160 tissues (most boxes have 132).

Also basalmic vinegarette dressing (for salad pita) for $1.50.
