Wal-mart Confessions

I shop at Wal-mart. I do. I admit it. I have a lot of friends who wouldn't be caught dead stepping foot in a Wal-mart, and I totally understand their reasoning. I feel out of place sometimes when I am there. But I just cannot resist their price-matching convenience!! Am I a little embarrassed about my Wal-mart shopping? I shouldn't be, but I admit that sometimes I am. In fact there is something about shopping there that sometimes makes me feel like a criminal. I usually go late at night, and when I come home I get out to take my groceries in and I peer up and down the street. I wonder . . . "Can anyone see me right now? And if they can see me . . . will they be able to make out the Wal-mart logo on my bags?" And then I sneak inside. Okay . . . maybe I am exaggerating a little bit. But while I was doing my price matching at Wal-mart yesterday I was shopping and wondering to myself, "Is it possible to be cool . . . AND shop at Wal-mart?" . . . It must be! I'm cool, and I shop at Wal-mart. But then I did something that sort of shattered that thought. I was price matching for a pound of strawberries, but didn't see them. Their 2 lb container of strawberries was only 2.50, so I grabbed one. But then later I found the 1 lb container of strawberries. Ah ha!! Sweet. Then, please don't judge me, but I looked around slyly . . . then I picked up my 2 lb strawberries and nonchalantly placed them in the pile of 1 lb strawberries while taking two 1 lb containers. It's true. I actually did that. I felt like a shoplifter or something while I committed this crime, worried that someone would see me and call me out. I always wonder why people are so lazy when they just drop there stuff at random places in the store . . . but here I was . . . leaving my strawberries where they didn't belong. All I can say is that to redeem myself I not only put my cart away but grabbed someone elses too after I unloaded the groceries in the car. I hate it when people leave their carts in parking stalls. How lazy! You for sure will never catch me doing that! :) Anyway . . . there it is. No more sneaking around. I shop at Wal-mart, and am a grocery item dropper! . . . I'm still cool though, right?
