DIARY, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2023
from 2023 in ( life / home-garden / blog / shopping )

CASH BACK
from 2017 in ( life / money / shopping )

Don't you hate it when you tell the self-checkout register that you want cash back.

Yep, if you want to get rich just follow behind me whenever I go to the grocery store. Luckily I'd only asked for $20.... read more

A VISIT TO WALMART
from 2011 in ( life / money / shopping )

I hate walmart.comWalmart . It's a company run by slimy executives who don't care about the mom-and-pop businesses they destroy, and its stores are frequented by the lowest class of people. I always feel the need for a shower afterward. But, this morning it made more sense to go there because they we... read more

ANOTHER REASON NOT TO SHOP AT WALMART
from 2010 in ( life / money / shopping )

If you buy underwear at Walmart, they will be able to track wherever you go. If their sales are not hurt by this announcement, they will institute it in more products, probably eventually all products.

from 2010 in ( life / money / blog / shopping )

Just got back from an all day shopping excursion. I don't know how Tara does it every week. I told her that was harder work than going to the office all day. She said, So, you appreciate me more now?
