I was just going to post the same. I’m not a fan of Red Lobster, but do love Olive Garden. My kids actually turned me onto OG. They love OG and I must confess, for a chain it’s pretty good. Breadsticks, soup and salad are great and the pasta is fine- just avoid pasta with chicken, since it can be rubbery.

LMAO you think someone who frequents Red Lobster can "shell" out for Del Mar??

Yes. Most people on DCUM can definitely shell out for Del Mar

After you are done there you can check out the TJ Maxx nearby which is actually the best one in the tri state area (I’m actually not joking).

let's hear more about this TJ Maxx!

It’s in an iffy shopping center but I scored most of my favorite clothing pieces there as well as a $150 Breville toaster. I browse the “outside” racks where they put the newer clothes and don’t bother with the other stuff. Also they have cute shoes sometimes. The TJ Maxx in Bowie isn’t bad either. TJ Maxxes in Virginia are garbage next to them both.

When you’re done there, swing by the nearby Costco for the most easy breezy relaxing Costco experience of your life. Seriously, it’s the only uncrowded Costco I’ve ever been to. And the people are more relaxed and polite.

Next to that Costco is a Nordstrom Rack that isn’t that great, but has all the bras for busty ladies at a deep discount. I’ve gotten all my favorite bras from there.

Thrifty shopper Virginia bonus round: the Talbots outlet in Springfield. I’ve found so many lovely basics at this store for $30 or less. When I had to go to the office it was my place for blazers and office wear.

Now that I know you shop at Talbot's the rest of your shopping hints mean nothing to me.

And Talbot’s outlet, no less…

Hey, not PP but I will join her at the Talbots Outlet. I'm petite and it's one of the few places I'm likely to find pants that don't need alterations.

Also, the Red Lobster biscuits are indeed good. Be gone with the snobbery.

Red Lobster's seafood (and food in general I guess) is terrible. I wouldn't publicly admit to going there, but I occasionally do (for the cheddar chive biscuit things and the popcorn shrimp, which I enjoyed immensely as a child when Red Lobster was considered, in my home town, to be very fancy indeed; right up there with Ponderosa, lol).
