I’m quite a bit behind on posts, so this one is a little late.

For those of you that don’t live in Utah, there is the Macy’s that is a department store and one that is a grocery store that possesses the guise of having the lowest prices in town. They achieve this guise by not updating their look (which is good for those of us nostalgic of trickle-down economics and The Clash) and by displaying prices as 5 for $10 even though there isn’t really any quantity discount (in other words you can still buy 1 or $2). Anyway, at least the place is clean enough and they employ a lot of college students.

This last year’s Christmas decorations were a little more under budget than usual however. Back in December I was walking down the isle that has the mexican food (the one my friend calls the catholic isle) and saw the above decorations. I thought that it was thoughtful of Macy’s to make all of our Latino friends feel more at home by recreating their natural habitat. But then I realized that the entire store had a similar theme in decor.

So I guess Macy’s was cutting corners, breaking open the unsold Cinco de Mayo decorations that had some red and green on them (yes, Mexico’s colors are red, white, and green). The good news is, they pass the savings onto us! Here are a couple more pictures of Macy’s Holiday decorations:

Suddenly, a chalupa sounds really good right now for some reason.

And then I was really shocked when I guy approached me from the frozen pizza/novelty ice cream isle wanting to haggle for replica rolexes and cocaine! Anyway, nice try Macy’s.
