I don't travel often, but when I do, I try to check out all of the stores we don't have back home. And then I get enraged with jealousy.

Let's take a look at the chain stores we need in Northern Colorado.

The Container Store

Why do we need an entire store just for storage and storage accessories? Plastic bins, cloth bins, metal bins. You get what I'm saying. But here's why we DO need a Container Store. People can't stop buying crap, and we, the people, need to buy containers to keep that crap safe.

Containers big, small, medium, micro, large, and Christmas tree-sized bins are always available to everyone else in the country but us in Northern Colorado.

Saks Fifth Avenue

I know we don't have many (or any) fancy balls in Northern Colorado. And I know I'm not Pretty Woman, and it isn't the eighties anymore. But God, do I wish we had a Saks (that's what I would call it if I were rich) because I want to touch all of the beautiful things with my filthy, filthy fingers with no intention of buying.

But I couldn't stop thinking about something, and it's kept me up for the past seventy-two hours. Would it fit in the old K-Mart building in Fort Collins?

ALDI

What is it, and why do I want to go so bad? This store is sprinkled all over the United States, but not here in Northern Colorado. This is apparently a huge grocery store with prices you can't beat.

Whatever ALDI.
