We&#8217;ve been relying on the local grocery store for food.  We&#8217;ve been relying on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maryjoandwill.com\/?p=83\">Ikea<\/a> for bedding and kitchen stuff.  We&#8217;ve had no idea where to get anything else, like duct tape, or tools, or croutons.  Today, that all changed.  I did some <a href=\"http:\/\/willz.org\/blog\/willsblog\/?p=2615\">extensive looking<\/a> and found a store called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.interspar.at\/c\/cms\/frontpage\">Interspar<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/translate.google.com\/translate?hl=en&#038;sl=de&#038;u=http:\/\/www.interspar.at\/&#038;ei=AoW9TLD-CIOPswa00c3CDQ&#038;sa=X&#038;oi=translate&#038;ct=result&#038;resnum=1&#038;ved=0CBoQ7gEwAA&#038;prev=\/search%3Fq%3Dinterspar%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3DRiq%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26prmd%3Div\">English translation<\/a>&#8230; good luck).  It was fairly far away, but we decided to just walk up there and see what it had to offer.  We were not disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>The Interspar we found had a few other shops around it, like a shoe store, a sporting goods store, and a clothing store.  The Interspar itself had a small entertainment section with DVDs, computer stuff, and TVs.  It also had baby stuff, pet stuff, bath stuff, a small hardware section, kitchen stuff, and a larger grocery section.  I managed to find nearly everything on my &#8220;wish list&#8221;.  The best part is that we can walk there, so it doesn&#8217;t cost 11 Euro in bus fares to get down there.  It still takes 20 minutes to get there, but you get the idea.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty much in love.  We now have a source of cheap &#8220;miscellaneous&#8221; items.  And, they have croutons.  Billa (the local grocery store) doesn&#8217;t.  *squeeeel*  The only problem is that we have a limited carrying capacity, so buying that fancy fondue set or that <a href=\"http:\/\/store.playmobilusa.com\/on\/demandware.store\/Sites-US-Site\/en_US\/Product-Show?pid=3268&#038;cgid=Ritter\">Playmobil castle<\/a> is probably out of the question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally.
