forgive me, for i have sinned...


i broke my cardinal rule last night when i bought a few groceries from wally world. i HATE that store with the fiery passion that some people feel towards ex boyfriends, brussel sprouts, VISA late charges, and brown and gold vinyl flooring! eesh! i will be steaming over that one forever! but seriously, i have so many problems with walmart that i surprised myself to bits to be putting my dollars into that company in exchange for low quality asparagus and an argument with spouse over the potential purchase of a $5 case of mountain dew.

for my repentance and hail mary's, colby and i are signing up for winder dairy. we are going to support local farmers and local cows - and i am willingly making the jump from one percent to skim. i love the idea of my bread and milk coming from across the valley instead of across the country.

okay, so it will cost a little more than the usual gallon of milk, but i am saving where it really counts: my sanity.

Winder dairy will cost you a S-Ton more than the local grocery store. If you are luckier than us they will drain all the "cleaning fluid" out of their system before they fill your four dollar half gallon jugs.

I hate walmart too! Go winder! I want to sign up for it as well, you will have to tell me how it all works out.

dito, dito, dito. Unfortunately they are the only store that carry some of my favorite organic baby foods. I put myself in disguise (I wouldn't want anyone to know I shop there) and once every 3 months I dash in... grab the needed items and get the heck out of there before I witness some sort of "walmart event"!
