Actually, I did. I came back (with a friend) and purchased a hanging
kitchen rack. Again, 1/3rd of what everone else was charging.

OTOH, I looked at a Captain's bed for my daughter. You know, a single
bed with under bed storage drawers? I looked closely. All
fiberboard! Jes like Levitz! Nevermind.
