I went in today to get felt. That’s it. Two yards of felt. And some fraycheck. I wont mention that it took me ringing the craft bell twice and then stomping over to the car area to get them to page someone to cut my felt and it took about 15 minutes. But what I will mention is after I had gotten my material, I headed over to get some milk. Conveniently, the milk is on the OTHER side of the store. As I am walking through the store, I see $5 long sleeve shirts. $5 is a good deal, compared to Gymboree, and Charlotte needs some winter clothes. It is dipping below 70 here now at night. So I pick up two shirts…and a pair of pants…….and a velour jogging set.
But THAT’s it. Now I have 2 yards of felt, fraycheck, 2 shirts, 1 pair of pants, and a suit set.
Off to the milk. I get the milk and whats that…….OMG, EGGNOG IS OUT!!! How could I leave eggnog behind? I mean, I cannot. It only comes out one time a year. Now I have 2 yards of felt, fraycheck, 2 shirts, 1 pair of pants, a suit set, a gallon of milk, and an eggnog container.
Have I yet mentioned I don’t have a cart?
As I am walking out of dairy I walk by children’s food aisle and remember that Charlotte has NO sippy cups. I prefer she uses those in the living room, so I grab two packs of disposables.
2 yards of felt, fraycheck, 2 shirts, a pair of pants, jogging suit set, gallon of milk, carton of eggnog, and 2 four pack containers of sippy cups. No cart.
ON my way up to the front, I walk by tape….I am out of tape because of the Balloon incident the other day when I had to leverage the mop onto the vaccuum to get the balloon down.
2 yards of felt, 1 tube of fraycheck, 2 shirts, 1 pair of pants, a jogging suit set, gallon of milk, carton of eggnog, and 2 four pack containers of sippy cups, and tape. And a partridge in a pear tree.

My problem isn’t that I spend too much when I go. It is that I feel the need to go down every eisle picking things up thinking I need them and then talking my self out of it. Meaning I go in for a tube of toothpaste, go through every eisle, grab a little of this and a little of that. Then about 45 minutes later decide no I don’t need those and leave the store with just a tube of toothpaste. The worst is when I have the kids. I still go through the ritual only with fussy kids crying because they want to go home and nap. AHHHH! I think I have a problem.
LOL That is what ALWAYS happens to be at any store. Publix, Walmart, Target
This is hilarious. Walmart is excellent at marketing.
I can’t go in there without a list. IF I stick to the list all will be well…*sigh* I hate them too!
That happens to me all the time! My hubby also refers to Walmart as the devil.
I used to be that way too, but where we lived before, we basically had Walmart and the grocery store to shop at for most of our needs. Now Target is only 3 miles from the house, and I have a Wegman’s I can regularly grocery shop at. Oh, and Kohl’s is right next to Target. Being in civilization again and trying to get curtains for our new house is killing us LOL.
ha ha thats so me. the worst part is that walmart is right in front of my apt complex. I mean I can see from my window! thank goodness its not a target ( that place I love more )
Haha… I am glad I am not the only one! See, you can laugh about it now, huh?
My husband always jokes that we’ve never been able to get out of Walmart without spending at least $100. We used to live a few blocks away from a Walmart and it was not pretty. It was a good thing for our back account when we moved.
LOL! I know all about that!!
I’m not a Walmart shopper, but that same thing happens to me at Target and Meijer.
I feel you on this, doesn’t matter what big store I go to, Target, walmart, Costco… I leave with my check book crying!
