So, last night I bought a DVD player for $19.98 at H.E.B., which is basically the only grocery store choice here in Waco. Since I don’t have a choice for what brand store to shop in, I’ve been checking out the different H.E.B.’s in town, and have now been in 5 different stores, all remarkably different. Last night I trekked out to H.E.B. PLUS! (Which makes me think of Home Plus (is us!)), which is sortof like a Target, without the clothing… and with a full grocery center. I’d been wanting to get a DVD player since my TV watching channels have been limited, and this one seemed reasonable, even though it’s an off-brand (Coby?).

Anyway… 2 funny things about the DVD player.

1. It has a 90 day warranty where you can return it to Coby for a refund/new unit. The cost to mail the unit to Coby? $18. $1.98 less than what I bought it for. Heh.

2. My TV is so old it doesn’t seem to have RV inputs. Obviously, I didn’t realize this until I was behind the TV with my cables, ready to plug in… (okay, so I guess that’s not funny about the DVD player, but more funny about the television, which admittedly has been in my family as long as I can remember and went to college with both my brother and I).

Guess I’m not watching DVDs anytime soon.
