A Walmart Weekend

We did a lot of shopping at Walmart this weekend. Money was spent on upgrades, replacements and groceries. Everything was affordable and needed. Needless to say, we will be eating those groceries we bought and no going out.

Our dog is wondering what is going on. Also that TV box is a part of this weekend’s story.

A Great Black Friday Suggestion

This is just a portion of what we bought. The perishable stuff is in the fridge and freezer.

The Sunday after getting paid is when we head to the grocery store usually. We go after Church just because it’s convenient. Save A Lot is a discount grocery store with a smaller selection at cheaper prices. Saving money is important and lots of folks will do their shopping there and at places like Aldi and Trader Joe’s.

Before going to the store take an inventory of what you have, plan a menu and shop accordingly. There is an app called Out Of Milk that can help organize your shopping trip. You save money and time that way. We will eat well this next couple of weeks.

When Walmart moved into these communities they led to the closure of stores that existed for years before. Pretty crummy if you ask me.
