It was time for another Ullared-trip! People scoff sometimes when I say that's one of our highlights of the summer, but we enjoy it. It had been a long time since last time we were there, since there was no chance I would go during the worst Covid-summers. Now, it was time!
We stopped at the usual place, by the lake just before reaching the big (actually the largest department store in Scandinavia) shop, to have a quick coffee break; and to feed the ducks.
There is a system to shopping at Ullared. For example, it's really important you remember which number your cart has, in case you loose it..!
Linnea had really looked forward to today, she loves quantity and gets a lot for her money here. She bought little trinkets, mostly make-up stuff and such things, but also gifts and phone accessories etc.
Even Lucas took the prospect of an all-afternoon shopping stop in his stride. We were actually mostly there for him, he got his own duvet, towels, sheets, an iron and other things for his new digs.
At the shopping cart parking about halfway through, time for lunch!
A successful trip indeed! We were all done and dusted, lunch- and coffee breaks included, in about six hours! That's a record, we were super efficient! And, I didn't get carried away and buy tons of stuff I didn't need this time (just because it's so cheap). I was really reasonable, but did get some new board games, a puzzle, a new phone cover, a gift or two, a handbag and a new nightie.
