As Kurch said, they have electronic equipment ranging from a $3 pocket calculator to an entire computer system loaded with all peripherals. 😀 😛

The super centers I have been too didn't have a great selection of laptops Maybe 3 or 4 different types Circuit City here I come 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

I mostly went there to buy liquids and gels that I couldn't carry on my flight: Mylanta, sunblock, toothpaste, and mouthwash. 😀 😛

Can you put stuff like that in your non-carry on luggage? 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Yes, you can put gels and liquids in checked baggage, but sometimes that's not wise as the bottle breaks. But for my trips to Florida I've been traveling light, one carry-on bag only, no checked bag. 😀 😛

If I can't find a regular grocery store along my route,I'll stop in a super center for food Gotta save money where I can Truck stop prices suck

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Yes, you've mentioned before how high the prices are at truck stops. 🙁

TA

Petro

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

As am I Usually it's cheaper to get the dinner buffet $10.99 on average I try to limit it to 2 hot plates,and a salad plate I'll have a glass of water with the meal 😀 😛

Never heard of Petro. Are there any on the west coast? 😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

One of my favorite diners with a free salad bar is the River Edge Diner in New Jersey. Not a chain, though, there's only one. 😀 😛

Yes The closest one to LA,is Wheeler Ridge It's 70 miles (roughly) north of LA on The 5 freeway I have a truck stop guide with me in the truck It lists all of the truck stops in the US and Canada It has the size of the lot,if it has a diner,garage bay,and other services 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

I've never seen one around New York City. 😀 😛

New Jersey has some great Diners in my experience Some of the best lunch trucks have been in that state 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Diners are one of the few things that New Jersey is praised for. 😀 😛

People don't want to drive too far for a meal these days with the price of gas over $4. 😱
😀 😛

Closest one to NYC is,Bordentown,NJ Exit 7 off of the NJ turnpike One of my favorite places to eat a great dinner buffet Several years back,I was stuck there for the weekend Freight was dead that weekend

On Sunday,one of the waitresses walked around and asked people what the main dinner meat was on the buffet Nobody knew

She asked me,and I told her steamship round It's beef I got a free buffet that night 😛

Always look for the silver lining in that gray cloud 😀 😛

Can't say I blame them Usually,tow of my three meals is eaten out of my electric cooler I have in the truck Dinner is usually my only meal I eat in the truck stop diner 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Exit 7 is pretty far south of the city. 😀 😛

I think it's 70 miles roughly from the GW bridge A wee bit far to drive for a meal Plus dealing with the bridge traffic 😱

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

70 miles sounds about right. The bridge is exit 18E. 😀 😛
