Wal-Mart "Sale" Item

[mlsj2009]

*sighs* pretty soon no one will be able to afford food and we'll all have to go back to being hunter / gatherer's :/

With us running out of land, what exactly are we going to hunt, Pandora, each other? lol

You have GOT to see the scene with Steve Martin in Father of the Bride (1991). The scene is classic about the 12 bun package of hot dog buns, versus the 8 hot dogs in a package of hot dogs.

i remember that without even looking!!! a classic and i have to admit when i pick up those buns and put them in my cart i think about that scene once in a while to this day!! too funny!!

bottom line here is you really need to know your prices. shoot, i wasn't going to join bj's since they raised there fee to $50 yearly, but butter is 1/2 the price there as well as a number of things we use regularly. yet other items are far more expensive.

we still find ourselves going to 3-4 stores i.e. walmart for can goods and cleaning products, shop n save for avocado's, tomato and bananas while, (albertson's is where i seem to do the best for food) and then open markets for SOME local veggies and fruit to save money.

it's a ton of work trying to save a dime

LOL... god I hope not! I'll have to get my tin-foil hat and zombie "care kit" if that happens!

makes you think though - really - what COULD we hunt to eat? Fish are out as most waters are now full of mercury thereby making the fish inedible; deer, rabbits, birds... hmmm... ok, maybe - but I draw the line at eating song birds, pigeons, and anything from the rodent family!

I think Bear Grylls might be the only person to survive...along with cockroaches! That man will eat anything!

i made rabbit once it looked so good..i braised it in honey and butter slowly in the oven all day. only to take a bit of buck shot!!! it was all over this poor little rabbit, although he was tasty. squirrel chili, that was ok. i did have problem with horse tho, it was so tough by the time you chewed it to shallow you remembered what it was. didn't eat horse again.

may Bear Grylls enjoy those cockroaches!

For those that don't know, WalMart will match any sale price from any competitor. At our store, they have all the local newspaper sale papers right at the register. Most people don't know about it, and they recently just started advertising it, but it has been their policy for at least 15 years now.

yes yes...my neighbor told me about that one. the only problem with that is i just can't carry around all the other stores prices!! i know i can grab an ad or two and bring it, if i'm going to walmart.

Politicians come to mind... They're plenty fat enough, in good supply, and no one would really be heartbroken if they became extinct.

I opened a pack of hotdogs for the kids dinner last night and the package only had 7 hot dogs!! What am I suppose to do with the 8th bun???

Was Michelle Bachman in town?

Were they Hebrew National? i noticed the 7 thing a few weeks ago

[discouraged]

I am so sorry folks missed it - I did post, can't remember when, about coffee prices going up so bought a TON of the stuff - enough to last for 6 months or so, when I heard prices were going up.

I can't/don't do Wallmart as I abhor their employment policies and the way they treat employees. I actually spend more time in dollar stores and thrift stores and give them the dollars I have.

LMAAAAAAAAAAAO! OMG... that is probably the funniest thing I've read in a very long time

Thanks for the laughs Freddy!
