Wal-mart and Mrs. Spend A Lot

Well I accomplished about half of what I was going to do today.  Wal-mart is a some place that I should go.  I love the store, but we went in for a couple of pairs of jeans for my husband and came out $139 lighter.  I would like to tell you it was all my husband’s fault, but since all he asked for was a six pack of Mr. Goodbars that would be a lie.  Instead of two pair of jeans I made him get four.  At $16.47 a pair I figured let’s do it now while we have the money.  So he has two black and two blue pair.  Then since I’m working a lot I’m having a lot of swelling in my ankles and my socks get tight so I bought some new socks for myself.  Then a sale on pillows caught my eye and we headed over there.  Since we are using the same pillows we both had when we lived at home with our folks a couple of new ones seemed like a good idea.  They were marked at $5 a piece and we got different color stripes so we can tell whose pillows are whose.  Then a $12 coffee maker under the doctors orders.  Since giving up the caffienated pop isn’t working exchange it for coffee, low fat milk and splenda.  It’ll save me about 500 calories a day.  I also bought a dry erase board to stick on the fridge with a magnet marker so I don’t lose that either.  I hate rushing around trying to find a pen and paper when I’m in a hurry.  Then the jerky my husband loves that costs like $5 at the gas station was on sale for $2.47 so I told him to get a couple of bags.    So see all my fault, but rarely do I do anything like that so I figured what the heck.  At least now my old man’s isn’t walking around in pants with huge holes in them.

  1. Sounds like a trip you enjoyed for a change.  We all need that once in a while.

  2. I’m one of those who likes to take advantage of being at a ‘one stop’, so I know your pain.
    We still have an inside joke about the $80 envelopes. 

    No way could I have a pillow go that long.  I usually replace mine more than once a year.  Even if I put one through the laundry, it doesn’t stay fluffy enough to suit me.

  3. I am just like you!  I can never visit Wal-Mart (and goodness knows Sam’s) without spending $150 or so.  I try and stay away unless I absolutely positively need something important.  Now I’m really frightened because they are about to open a Wal-Mart not even 5 miles from my house!  Yikes!
