Dollar Store Essentials

Kyong-Mi went to the 99¢ Only Store in Tustin, Ca (Newport Avenue) to kill time.  She found this whistle for Just-In-Case, Strawberry Shake Blam lip balm with a clip, and Minnie Mouse cotton candy hand sanitizer with a clip.  Mike's going to be really thrilled.  😆

At checkout, she saw a Selfie-stick and had to purchase one for better backgrounds in their selfies.  InstaDork.

Go Girl

Kyong-Mi went to Walmart and purchased a Go Girl portable, feminine urinal device.  It comes in a small cylindrical tube with a baggy and small toilet paper.  Kyong-Mi claims it is comfortable and it's reusable and discreet.  She did not have this device before and has now added it to her backpack.

It is highly suggested that female hikers get one.  You don't have to risk squatting over some poisonous plants or a pile of red ants!  Just do like those that can write their name in the snow, and turn to a corner or bush and go.  If your clothing is permitting, you don't even have to pull your pants off to use it.

Very convenient!  A friend of Ku‘uipo's who is in the Army says they now issue camouflage Go Girls in the US Army for women on long convoys.

$10 at Walmart in the Sport Goods department, in the Hiking and Camping aisle.

Purchases

Kyong-Mi went bargain shopping today.  First, she stopped by Saver's to buy cargo pants for her next hike.  The last hike she went on, her pants ripped while sliding down a boulder.  While at the thrift store, she found a book called Fun (and Educational) Places to Go With Kids (and Adults) in Southern California 9th Edition. The book is loaded with family-friendly places to go and isn't too outdated to be useless.

After the purchases, and on the way home, Kyong-Mi stopped by Big Lots to purchase a case of bottled water.  She wandered into the Automotive and Tools department and found a package of 2 Multi Tools for $10.  Perfect for hiking.

If Kyong-Mi does not have to work tomorrow (she's on call), she and Mike will be hiking.

$2 and some change at Saver's Thrift Store in Fountain Valley
