Into ANOTHER Grocery Store

Yesterday I had planned on making an Aldi run as there were a few items I had on my list that I get there since they have the best price on those particular items. We wound up making an impromptu stop at Walmart since my wife said she had a prescription ready there for pickup.
I was just going to drop her off and wait, but then she was like, "Don't you need beer or something?"
I was reluctant because I can't walk out of Walmart without dropping at least a Grant. And there WERE a couple of Walmart items on my list I COULD get that I didn't need right away.
Fine. I went in. $75 later we walked out.
Today we will go to Ruler because my mom says she needs some things and she was not able to go yesterday. So, that's three "grocery" stores in two days. I only put it in quotes since of course Walmart is not just groceries.
Oh well, I have items at Ruler on my list as well, AND I'd like to get some eggs if they still have them for $1.99 like they did last week.

I buy the most expensive bread in my supermarket. I ask for bread and then start to think about nice things I´d like to have. Like you, I end up with a lot of money less in my pocket. But happy.

See, now, when it comes to bread I buy the cheapest I can find which is typically Smart-Way wheat at Ruler for $1.19 a loaf. But we all have our "treats," and as I always like to say, save on the things you need so you can afford the things you want. It's a system that works out quite well.

We regularly go in for three items and come out with a dozen.

I did a quick shop at No Frills yesterday on my way home from Hamilton. I got a little Black Forest cake, some yogurt, ice cream on a stick, and potato chips... just the essentials.

I makeup three lists, combine them, and do all kinds of calculations before I put on my monthly Walmart order. It is coming up at the beginning of December, and I want to have some cake or cookies for Christmas.

sounds like you had a busy few days doing runs to get the things you needed
being turkey day is just around the corner.
