My name is Jenn, and I'm a 27 year old married and babied chick. In addition to a husband, a seven year old daughter, and a five year old autistic son, I also have four cats, three hermit crabs, two frogs, a few fish, and one snorty little Pug. I work from home doing a variety of writing and even some web design. I love blogging, digital photography and web design.
I have to give credit where credit is due. I loathe Walmart. I don’t like how they treat their employees, and I also can’t stand 99% of the clientele that shops there. Seriously, ghetto and white trash to the freakin’ MAX. I’m a Target girl all the way. The Target I go to is just five miles down the road (a straight run!), but the Walmart people stay at Walmart. Target is a world of difference. I’ll gladly pay the 2-5% more for each shopping trip in exchange for a peaceful shopping experience.
Anyway. I’m in between payouts from clients, so I sucked it up and went over to Walmart for some grocery shopping. My budget was $150. I walked out with a full cart of groceries (plus a pack of makeup remover wipes, baby wipes, a bottle of fabric softener and two bottles of lens cleaning fluid (for our computer monitors, laptop displays and sunglasses) for $132 (after $2.50 worth of coupons). I got meats, bread, English muffins, cheese, cereal, flour, soups, dairy products, and a few “quick meals”. Not bad, not bad. I probably would have spent closer to $150 at the grocery store, and I’m sure I would have spent about $135 at Target, but I wouldn’t have gotten most of the meats since my Target is, sadly, not a super Target.
Will it happen again? Probably not. I usually do a big shopping trip at a local grocery store (they’re not open on Sundays, hello annoyingly conservative town) every 2-3 weeks, and pick up the in-between things like milk and bread and frozen meats at Target.
