Yesterday was payday for Tommy. I knew I had to get some groceries. So here's what I did. I browsed the ad (from Sunday's Shopper) of our local grocery store....Hy-Vee...usually the cheapest store in town. Then I got online to see if I could get everything on my list and a price for it. Well I could and did. After about an hour and a half, I finally printed out my list. Hy-Vee has a order and pick up option online, for those who are too busy to actually shop the store. I just printed out my list.
Anywho....I took that list to the Waseca Wal-Mart Supercenter...Waseca is where Tom works and it's 9.7 miles from my house. I have to insert here that I had all 4 kids with me and we left our house at 5:15 p.m. arriving at WM around 5:30 p.m. So I get my cart...tell the kids ok..we have to be done by the time dad meets us here! So I dig out my Hy-Vee list and start shopping. I go down almost every single aisle, plus the meat, dairy and produce sections. Now keep in mind that my Hy-Vee list totaled $197 + some change. Fast forward 35 minutes...6:05 p.m., I'm done with the grocery section of WM.
I see Tommy just walking into the store...tell him here take this cart, I'll grab another one and finish up by the time you cash your check. So I go and grab the dog food, cat food, gauze, soap, etc. from the other side of the WM...I'm done in about 10 minutes...which brings us to about 6:15 p.m. I meet Tom and the girls at the checkout. We check out. My total is $178.89. My exact Hy-Vee total was $197.42....the difference is $18.53.
Thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.
And that's my Grand Casino story.
