It’s time we all transported ourselves into the world of make-believe. While shopping sprees are fun, what about going on a shopping spree where you wouldn’t have to pay for anything? (Are you catching my drift?) Where would you go if you had ten minutes to execute the perfect grab-and-go experience of your life? Recently, men and women met in an online discussion to reveal the ideal stores for a 10-minute “shopping” frenzy.
#1. Home Depot
If you’ve had home improvement projects on your mind lately, there’s only one destination that should be on your mind: Home Depot (or a similar home improvement store).
The tools that would be at your disposal would go a long way into making those much-needed kitchen or bathroom renovations.
If you want to go old-school, you could just grab as much plywood as you can drag out of the store in ten minutes; some enterprising people may do it just for the stellar workout!
#2. A Local Comic Book Store
Savvy collectors and nerds worldwide know the truth: There is serious money to be made in comics! “My local comic book shop has items as expensive as $7,000,” reveals one man.
“So I feel like I could instantly find amazing things there in only ten minutes.” Can you imagine walking out with a pristine copy of a vintage Superman or Batman comic?
You’d instantly be the most desirable comic collector in your city! It wouldn’t be a bad haul for ten minutes of work.
#3. Costco
Costco is one of the country’s most beloved retail stores for one reason: its immense value proposition! It makes sense to head to Costco for the ultimate grab-and-go.
Although, if you were savvy enough, you’d use your ten minutes to procure as many giant Costco-sized boxes of toilet paper as possible, just in case another global pandemic happens! (You’ll be the envy of all your neighbors, I promise.)
#4. A Gas Station
Heading directly to a gas station could finally give you the answer to a burning question: How many Monster energy drinks can I grab in ten minutes?
Naturally, this would lead you to uncover the answer to another question: How many Monster energy drinks can I drink in one sitting? In related news, you’d guarantee you’d be featured in your local paper at least twice!
#5. A Supermarket
Think about it: You have to go to the grocery store this week already, so why not head there for your shopping frenzy?
Supermarkets and grocery stores are well-rounded places that offer tons of products and items. Think of all the delicious raw meats you can buy!
Your family will never have to worry about dinner again! (As long as you grab a Crock Pot before you leave.)
#6. Apple Store
For many people, the Apple store is the pinnacle of retail shopping. Imagine what you can grab in ten minutes: MacBooks, iPhones, AirPods, accessories; the list goes on and on.
Even the most jaded Android user must admit there is serious value to be found in a typical Apple store!
However, most of these items will be digitally locked, but something tells me that won’t stop many people from grabbing them anyway.
#7. A Local Pawn Shop
Interestingly, a handful of men and women confess they’d head straight to their local pawn shop searching for the most valuable items they can find.
“Imagine all the treasures and under-the-radar finds you can grab at a pawn shop,” explains one woman. “The possibilities are endless!” While I agree you can find rare items at a pawn shop, calling them treasures is stretching it a bit.
But hey, if anyone wants to spend their ten minutes grabbing old stereos, DVDs, and weird musical instruments, more power to them!
#8. Best Buy
For anyone obsessed with technology, modern home appliances, and televisions, Best Buy is the logical stop for anybody looking to indulge in a ten-minute shopping frenzy!
However, most Best Buy stores are too large to navigate, so you might have to devise an efficient game plan to maximize your efforts. I think I’d head to the computer gaming section and attempt to level up my gaming rig!
#9. Vintage Guitar Store
For rockers of all ages, the most logical choice for a store for the perfect ten-minute frenzy would be a vintage guitar shop.
After all, if there was ever a time to unleash your inner Van Halen, it’s having a few moments to go to town on your dream guitar!
“I would use my ten minutes to my advantage and grab the coolest, most rocking vintage guitar I could find and stroll out of there like the coolest guy in the world,” confesses one aspiring musician.
#10. Lego Store
The inner kid in all of us would love to spend ten minutes in a Lego store, grabbing as many unique sets as possible.
I would head straight to the Lego Architecture sets and start my collection with a few seriously cool builds!
While admitting that you’d head directly to a Lego store isn’t the sexiest thing to realize, nobody can deny the staying power of those fantastic little bricks.
#11. GameStop
Predictably, gamers don’t want to be left out of this hypothetical activity!
One specific man has a foolproof strategy for ensuring he’ll be back at his house playing the latest video games in the shortest amount of time possible: “I’m rolling in, taking the first console I see, and then grabbing whatever games, accessories, and merchandise I want,” says one severely strapped-for-cash gamer.
