Dee's search for bromance

[deelaundry]

Guy at Exxon station: We only carry newspapers.

Guy at Borders: No, we don't carry TV Guide. Try the Books-a-Million over in [town approximately ten miles away].

Guy at 7-11 #1: There aren't any over there? *pulls out three-ring binder with delivery lists in it* Oh, I guess we didn't get any this week.

Guy at 7-11 #2: You want three copies of TV Guide? Really?

Husband: Yes, OK, fine, I'll watch the kids so you can go find more copies of the magazine. Why don't you pick up dinner on the way back?

*hugs husband*

ETA
Grocery store: *copies of last week's issue*

Guy at drugstore: TV Guide? I haven't seen that here in a loooong time.

Blockbuster: *carries Vogue, Teen Vogue, Heroes magazine, gaming magazines, Entertainment Weekly, but no TV Guide*

7-11 #3: *Dee walks past cops talking sternly to some drunk-looking dude, to buy all but the last copy of the House-Wilson TV Guide* YAY!

Try the grocery store Publix!!!!!!

Dee let me know if you fail on your quest. I will be buying mine at HyVee tomorrow and will pick up extras if you need them. They don't make it here to the Midwest until Fridays.

Barnes and Noble didn't have any, the Giant Eagle doesn't have any, the small magazine store on my street only had the CSI one. I'll check a couple other places in the area, but I'd be very willing to trade you porn in case Pittsburgh falls through.

I am pouting about them not being available here till tomorrow. :(

[bironic.livejournal.com]

The Penn Station convenience store usually has a bunch, but that's not going to help either of us. Good luck!

Did you try RiteAid or *shudder* Walmart?

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

Uh oh. I haven't even attempted to procure my copy yet. Do you think I'll have trouble?

[lazy-nightowl.livejournal.com]

I'm having the same issue, dee. Two large grocery chains and one Rite-Aid so far.

My local, indy bookstore doesn't even carry TVGuide, which I didn't realize until I asked and the employee answered me in a bit of a snotty voice! I'll have to try Borders tomorrow. A half-hour drive, but worth it in this case.

And yea, I'm not looking forward to the strange looks I'll get when I bring three or four copies up to the register.

My friend and I went to our local Borders and asked for help, but when they led us to the TV Guide, it did not have the Bromance on the cover. :( We were really sad.

[debbiel66.livejournal.com]

Don't grocery stores carry TV Guide any more? I was going to run out tonight and try to get a copy. I haven't bought one in ages.

[lazy-nightowl.livejournal.com]

Yes, the two grocery chains I went to have plenty of copies of the Oct 6 issue.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

No Publix around here, but I found success at the 7-11!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I was finally able to get all that I need, though. :D Two for me, and some for overseas friends.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

After eight stops I got the copies I was looking for. Let me know if you can't get some tomorrow, and I'll check near my work for an extra for you.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I know! It was hard enough just waiting until Thursday : (

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Mission accomplished finally! Eeeee!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Walmart is like 40 minutes away for me, bleah. But I was able to finish my mission at 7-11 #3! W00t!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

My main problem seemed to be not knowing where they actually sell TV Guide. Calling ahead might be an idea to save time and gas. Good luck!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I'd call ahead to the Borders -- they should be able to tell you if they stock it. If not, 7-11 was what ended up working for me.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I finally got what I needed.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Was it the CSI cover? The Bromance might come out tomorrow in your area. Good luck!

[remydoodle.livejournal.com]

I would definitly try a food chain store. They always have the tv guide at checkout.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

My grocery store had TV Guide, but last week's issue. : ( My best luck was at 7-11.

I've also heard that some areas don't get new issues at all until Friday.
