Ocean State Job Lot
Posted: November 25th, 2007 | Author: saldarji | Filed under: health, stuff | 1 Comment »One of my favorite places to shop in Massachusetts is Ocean State Job Lot. If you live near one, I highly recommend you go check out their deals. Most of it is unnecessary crap, but they usually have a great selection of staples. Occasionally, there is an item that you need at half the price you’d find elsewhere.
I was in there the other day looking for some things for Tracey‘s workshop yesterday and I found something on my Christmas list at a significant discount. I found a Taylor Digital Scale with a body fat analyzer. The scale was $20 at Ocean State, but is $35 on Amazon. The body fat analyzer is supposed to be used as an estimate, but the actual scale is very precise. It is much more precise than my $5 Ikea scale – that is for sure.
My scale tells me that I way 13 pounds more than I did before I went to Arkansas. And on top of that, I have approximately 24-25% body fat. I need to start working out and eating healthier, and I hope I can bring that down to 15%…which is considered healthy for my age and height.
That is one of the great things about Ocean State Job Lot. Not everything in the store is going to appeal to you, but all you need to find is one item that is 75% less expensive than anywhere else, and you are hooked!
