Christmas Shopping

Time is winding down. There is not much left. I have until the end of Thursday to finish my Wawa Challenge. I have until the end of Friday to finish my Christmas shopping. My Wawa Challenge is in better shape as of right now.

After work today I made the trek out to the King of Prussia Mall to try to get a decent handle on my Christmas shopping. Traffic was horrendous as you would expect between Philadelphia & King of Prussia on I-76 just a few days before Christmas but the saving grace was that I knew Wawa was getting my dinner before some shopping.

So I pulled into the Wawa right down the street from the KOP mall and got my chicken strips bowl & a water. I went on my way to the KOP mall parking lot and ate my Wawa in my car while trying to mentally prepare myself for what I was going to buy my family members, girlfriend, & friends. Again, the Wawa Challenge was going better.

So I spent some time in the KOP mall, tried to get some shopping done. But like my black friday - it was mainly a fail. I only was able to buy 1 present. Which means more shopping needs to be done. If you are a family member, girlfriend, or friend that I will likely buy a present for - post in the comments what you would like!

On my way home I knew I would hit the Wawa in Frazer, PA on Lancaster Avenue. At this point I wasn't really hungry or thirsty so I figured I would just fill up my half-tank of gas that needed refilling. Practical. It only took me until Wawa #45 on the challenge to be somewhat practical.

The Quest Not to Fail



Welcome back to the challenge! For those of you who followed the last time, I apologize for the failure. Major Wawa fail on my part.

I could make excuses, try to explain myself - but it really boiled down to getting sick of planning out everywhere I went and trying to find a Wawa to accompany my trip every single day.

That will not happen this time. I will not fail twice.

For those of you new to the blog, the challenge is simple: Go to 50 different Wawas in 30 days. To prove I hit each one, I will take a picture of the Wawa and post my receipt from whatever I purchase.

I am strategically rehashing this challenge from Thanksgiving to Christmas as I have a little more down-time and will have the Christmas spirit with me in my travels.

I will start the challenge on Wednesday, November 24th and I will need to complete the 50 Wawas by Thursday, December 23rd. So I'm going from Thanksgiving Eve to Christmas Eve Eve.

I highly encourage people to comment on the posts throughout the journey such as:
  • Suggestions on what to buy
  • Some Wawa location tips
  • Anything Wawa related - because I hope we can all agree, Wawa is awesome.
So here we go.

Again.
