I’m talking GROCERIES, people. And it was the biggest damn load of groceries we ever bought at one time, without a doubt. This morning Sam and I went to our Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market and blew $227 on just about everything in the store except tampons and Velveeta. It was a shopping excursion of epic proportions, designed to keep us rolling in crunchy things, food, toilet paper and Coke Zero until well into 2010. Plus, I’m planning several nice dinners for Sam and me during Christmas weekend, including Crockpot Chicken & Dumplings, Marcycita’s South-of-the-Border Tamale Pie and another tub of my world-famous Chicken Soup with Matzo Balls.Our Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market was remodeled earlier this year. Now we’ve got nice wide aisles, more checkout lanes, better lighting, and they carry a lot of good brands in addition to being exceptionally cheap. My only complaint: the produce department is sort of a bare-bones experience. They stock the basics, but Wal-Mart is NOT the place to go if you want an exotic squash, more than two varieties of apples or adorable sweet potatoes. However, most of the time this doesn’t matter at all. Thank you.
