Okay, so this economy is taking its toll on all of us. At least I hope it is all of us and I am not the only one who is actually looking at what milk costs and thinking can I get it cheaper? At least I am not shopping around for gasoline. That might mean I have hit rock bottom and I haven't gone there yet.
You know you can get great jeans for your kids at Walmart and they are only $9. Who knew? Just think if I had been shopping all along at Walmart I might have so much more in my savings account. My middle son is so flexible. He doesn't know or care if his jeans cost $9. My older son has had to be convinced that shopping at TJ Maxx doesn't mean that we are poor, just smart.
You see I am a Target shopper. I shopped at Target when we lived in California. I was so excited when they arrived in our town. The isles are wider, it has always been fun to go shopping there and buy some things that I need and some that I don't. In retrospect the Target shoppers are the stupid ones. Walmart shoppers know that a congested store with narrow isles means savings in the wallet.
My little one started eating Slim Jims. When he first told me this the only place I could think of to buy them was at a gas station. Guess what? They sell them at Walmart. They aren't that cheap. A Slim Jim Slim is $1.00. On the receipt it says they are meat. Well that is good because we haven't been serving much meat here lately. I mean we have it, but we have chicken almost every night. If I do make red meat my people usually have a problem with it. I am not really a cook.
Anyway Target, for now, will have to be reserved for special occasions, like taking my son Sam there for their chicken fingers with extra BBQ sauce.
