#MarketFriday - Wally World (Walmart) Wander
A few weeks ago, I finally managed to jump into the awesome #MarketFriday tag hosted by @dswigle, when I went shopping at Lowes with my hubby. But that wasn't the end of our shopping excursion - after we left Lowes, we had a Wally World (Walmart) Wander.
While it might not be the most exciting retail experience ever (I mean, have you seen @dswigle's latest, Market Friday and the Pow-Wow? Seriously - she manages to incorporate SO much history and information whilst giving us a tour of the booths! No wonder she's the one in charge of this tag!), the odds these days of me getting out, with my camera, and without my tremors haven't been all that great, so I figured I'd nab a two-for-one photo op while I could!
So please remember to close the car door behind you, and join us as we walk across the parking lot to...
Wally World (Walmart) Wander. Or as I like to call it, a necessary evil, thanks to how many people (and how little income) with have in our home.
First stop - grabbing some vitamins. Much as I'd like to get these at our local health food store, the prices here are low enough that we can still afford to pay rent afterwards. 😜
With all these vitamins, there must be wicked healthy shoppers here!
See? What did I tell you about healthy? Lots of bikes to ride and exercise with!
Don't forget your helmet!
At Lowes, Jim was surrounded by his fans. Now, he's playing it cool by the air conditioners.
I absolutely guarantee that the only reason this Patriot's material is on clearance is because it's summer here in New England and that's fleece...
...because this light cotton hometown teams fabric is still full price (I know it all looks like BoSox, but if you closely to the left, you'll see an old school Pats print).
So. Much. Cerreal! And yet the only one we wanted (Maple Brown Sugar Mini Wheats) was no where to be found!
Looks like certain types are randomly disappearing... maybe it's a rip in the time/space continuum!
There's just something strangely unsatisfying about All Berries Cap'n Crunch. Where's the fun if you can't pick out half the cereal and waste it? 😉 😂
I can't even...
And again, so many pizzas (among other things) in these freezers, and not a single Hawaiian Deep Dish!
But at least the frosty freezer doors are pretty
I think it's interesting that they placed the "spill station" in an aisle with fruits and veggies, not the beer aisle.
So much shopping with me has Jim going (for the) bananas!
The Danger Zone...
After another looooong wait in the checkout (I was too brain dead at that point to snap any shots), we made our way outside to the pretty sunset sky. Time to head home!
Thanks for stopping by!

My nearest WalMart is right beside an Aldi's and and Chick Filet. It's an all-in-one stop! But not on Sundays. Noooooo. Chick Filet is always dark.
I took my oldest two camping near Harper's Ferry, WV a number of years ago. The trip was memorable for a vicious thunderstorm the first night, rafting the second day, and then unbearable heat after rafting. We found a WalMart and spent a couple favourable hours inside enjoying their air conditioning.
Good times.
Color me surprised...not. 😜
The closest Chick-fil-A to us is in Nashua, NH and that's not a place we ever go, so I've never tried it.
Yep, Walmart does have some strong points, and good air conditioning is right up there. Definitely sounds like a memorable family camping trip. When we had a family vacation a few years back in Pennsylvania, it was cool walking through the York, PA Walmart (and sadly, they wouldn't give us a discount because our name was on the store), and seeing how much was the same as back home, and how much was different.
Thanks for dropping by, @wwwiebe! Hope your container gardens are thriving!
Hahahaha, they wouldn't give you a discount. Those fiends! :)
Yep, container garden is doing well. Lots and lots of flowers that will hopefully soon turn into cucumbers and snow peas! And about 10 pounds of still green tomatos. I need to keep tying the vines up so they don't break.
I know, right? 😂
Wow, sounds like your upcycling litter containers is really paying off! Hope you get a great harvest from it all!
That's a huge place. I also love that frozen door. :)
It's wicked huge, @rem-steem - even moreso when you're tired from shopping other places too! 😜
And thanks! 😊
I missed the challenge again.🙁 I enjoyed your post, I don’t like going at Walmart anymore, too crowded in my area, long check out points, especially now with the self checkout BS, it takes forever. I get anxiety when I go there, for sure. 😊
No worries, @starjewel - #MarketFriday can happen any day of the week! In fact, I think it's a rarity for a post to go up on an actual Friday, right @dswigle? 😊
And I agree - it's definitely not my favorite place to shop, but we make it work.
Wow! That’s a huge store, Traci. Walmart now carries about everything...except your cereal. 😊 There’s one about 45 min. from me but always so crowded.
I remember when it first opened about 15 years ago, how amazed I was at the size. I still walk in there every now and then and go, "wow." We try to go at off hours (early afternoon, late evening), and that helps with the crowds... but not the cereal! LOL!

As you may or may not know, I have been out of town shortly after I posted this last #MarketFriday. Unfortunately, there was no internet, which I wasn’t aware of and so I did not have the opportunity to respond properly to all of your wonderful posts!
I was able to read them, but, to give the proper attention to them that they deserve, I did not as I am at a public library (believe it or not!) so, I typed one response to let you know that I did, in fact read your post and I am sorry that you didn’t get the personal replay as I would normally give.
I want to take a moment to thank you for the dedication you have shown to #MarketFriday and to me and I cannot express how touched I am by all of you. It continues to thrive with your posting into the challenge! I want to thank you for the time and effort spent on these posts and the words you leave behind! I cannot tell you how much it means to me, your wonderful posts and showing off your different cultures!
Please accept a token of my love and appreciation with a little extra tip from me to you!!
MarketFriday loves you!
