I don't know where anything is there and hate having to hunt for stuff.

I hate wandering from one side of the store to the other when I just need a few items. When we go to WalMart, it is usually to buy something that we know is the cheapest there and we don't get coupons for. <br /><br />Hubby and I will go in, get the items we need and leave. All though, every couple of years, we get the urge while there to just throw whatever we want in the cart. <br /><br />We must be low maintenance, since we have never spent over $100 in once trip, unless buying electronics.<br /><br />Debbie, being frugal is sometimes hard work. Maybe I will do a roundup of some of the blogs I have found that have the best money saving tips. It could help us all.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817017829323955078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6379327498578817385.post-63651957399810340292010-03-01T11:49:43.847-06:002010-03-01T11:49:43.847-06:00Pam, you have raised a wise son.

Heck, I can afford it, I just like to keep my money, not give it away to grocery stores.

Now, I just wait for it to be over. <br /><br />You reminded me of when a guy at work came in one day complaining because he spent $500 at WalMart the night before. According to him, his girls "had to have everything they saw". I said, "No they didn't."<br /><br />If you are going to go insane at WalMart, don't blame your kids.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817017829323955078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6379327498578817385.post-19594640421037568302010-03-01T07:54:31.786-06:002010-03-01T07:54:31.786-06:00Are you talking about the commercial that says &qu...Are you talking about the commercial that says "you could save $55 just by shopping at Wal-mart"? That one ticks me off. Because what about those of us who already shop there because it's cheaper and still spend $500/month?! I'd like to know how they could save us regular shoppers some money instead.<br />I'm taking a couponing class tomorrow night and can't wait.Acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00538577922632790840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6379327498578817385.post-87023841759744319442010-02-28T22:23:04.700-06:002010-02-28T22:23:04.700-06:00We also cringe at that commercial (and laugh and p...We also cringe at that commercial (and laugh and point and make fun). It just seems inconceivable to us, but we know people who go to W-M just about every day and spend $50-$100 every time they go.
