Bread (part 1)

April 3, 2017 by Lloyd 4 Comments

I shouldn’t be writing this yet, but Lauren is in bed. Walmart has stopped carrying the bread that I like. It was one of those breads where you could actually see the seeds. Not just sprinkled on top, but in the bread itself. I can’t remember the name of the bread. I never needed to. It was always there… Until it wasn’t…

So I have to find a new brand of bread. I tried what I think that they are thinking is the replacement, but it’s not as good. Not enough seeds grains in the bread. Plenty on top, but they didn’t make it inside.  Today, when we stopped at the Wal*marts for some things that Lauren needed, I threw a different loaf of bread in the cart.

I’m pretty sure that this is going to be my new favorite, because it’s the most expensive. I think it was $5.44 a loaf, and it’s not  very big loaf. My guess is that that’s going to come to about $0.35 per slice. But I had to buy it. With a name like, “Dave’s Killer Bread”, it has to be good. Right?

Oh Walmart, why must you torment me so?

April 5, 2011 by Lauren 8 Comments

So, we were shopping in the Wal*marts and we sort of keep an eye out for things that look strange. You might recall that it’s especially annoying to Lloyd when multi-packs of things cost more than they cost singly.

The last time we were shopping he took this picture:

I believe the quote was, “Yeah, that’s how much a 2-liter bottle of Pepsi used to cost… in prison.”

Too Trusting

December 10, 2009 by Lloyd 24 Comments

You’d think I would learn. The Wal*marts around here is notoriously lowdown, sneaky and underhanded. They lure me in with a false sense of everyday low prices and then pull this kind of crap…

Everywhere else on the planet, Queen Anne Cordials come in boxes of 12 (that could hold 24 if their packaging wasn’t so terrible). But at the Wal*marts they come in boxes – boxes of exactly the same size, mind you – with only 10 in them. They are only $1.25 for a box of 10, but come on. Would it kill them to use the industry standard box of 12 for $1.50?

And I thought 6 was bad.

But wait, it gets worse. You can also buy, as I did, a double size box for $2.96. The double size box wouldn’t be a bad deal, except that it has 20 chocolate covered cherries in it instead of 24 (again, like everywhere else in the world).

Yeah, I bought the big box for $2.96 when I should have bought two of the smaller boxes for $2.50. Wal*mart, you’re not making any friends here.

I clearly should have outsourced this to someone with photoshopping skills.

Back at the Wal*marts

November 19, 2009 by Lloyd 7 Comments

Remember a little while ago when we toured Feral Cat City? Remember a week ago when Kristi visited? Well, it turns out that Kristi hadn’t seen the new Wal*marts or that the old Wal*marts was slowly turning into a church. We went out to do a little investigative reporting…

I think this is taken from the Jewery Department.

They've got to be thinking all glass, right?

Picture without a good caption.

Every church needs a stockade.

Boy, that third picture sure could use a caption.

Feral Cat City

September 16, 2009 by Lloyd 15 Comments

A few years ago, when the Wal*Marts moved to their new building, Lauren and I went exploring around their old digs. Out back, and hidden away among trees and general overgrowth was a thriving city of feral cats. When we were there there were kittens and cats building a thriving metropolis. They had erected shelters and were hunting wild kibble for food. When they saw us coming they threw down their tools and scattered into the wilderness.

Last weekend we went back to visit Feral Cat City. But where once there was a thriving community, there was now just the desolate remains of their culture.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Feral Cat City…

The aproach

The suburbs

The townhouses

The diner

The bed & breakfast

The ghetto

The mysterious last message from Feral Cat City

Basic Math FTW*

The Wal*Marts® does this to me every once in a while. Now and then they hide their everyday low prices just to see if I’m paying attention. A few years ago it was the “Bonus 2 Pack” of SpeedStick® that cost 3 cents more than buying 2 of the single sticks.

Last Sanday it was the Pepsi® that cost $6.98 for a case, but only $1.00 for a “4-pack”. As you can see, we were not the only people to notice the price difference.

Lauren took ours back to the real soda aisle.

*For the Win
