history: I saw something that looked really good in an ad, but when I went to the store to get it, it didn't look as good. Man I can't believe I almost bought that thing at Walmart! what did you almost buy? It was a combination rice-cooker and vegetable steamer.  It looked so good in the ad_comma_ but when I got there_comma_ it looked cheap and shabby! It's hard to find good quality at walmart I hope I can find one that lives up to the promise of that ad.  Maybe somwhere else_comma_ right? I would try target.  good quality stuff there.
current: I could try online, but I'd have to buy it first and then see if it's good quality.
next: try googling it, and read thru the reviews
