Walmart Trip Week of July 21, 2008

Okay, normally we don't shop at Walmart. We have moral issues with them. I don't agree with a major retailer imposing personal values on its customers, and that's what Walmart does when it censors music, magazines, and books and refuses to fill certain prescriptions in its pharmacies.

In fact, when I walked in with MV, she looked around the lobby and loudly asked, "Isn't this the store that Daddy hates?" She has obviously inherited my tact.

SO I sucked it up this week and I was a hypocrite and went there. The Crayola craft supplies were just too good to pass up, and MV really needed cheap sneakers for "creeking" (whatever that is) at Girl Scout Camp. I stock up on these pencils, crayons, markers and glue sticks to refresh our arts and crafts supplies but also to use as little stocking stuffers or small gifts for my nieces and nephews.

Here are the deals I scooped up:

• Free Hannah Montana 3-D glasses - to watch the television debut of her 3D concert film Friday night
• Bic pens 88 cents a pack
• Spiral notebooks 5 cents a pack (the 3-subjects are $1.44 and right next to the one-subjects so be careful when you pick them up!)
• Crayola markers 88 cents a pack - these are not the washable ones, but they did have classic color packs, bright color packs and both broad or fine tip boxes
• Crayola colored pencils 88 cents a pack
• Crayola crayons 22 cents a pack of 24 crayons
• Glue sticks or bottles 22 cents a pack

I also bought the Blue Bunny ice cream and used the $1.00 off coupon I saw linked by Centsible Sawyer, but the price for me was $2.50 minus $1.00 coupon http://thecentsiblesawyer.blogspot.com/2008/07/walmart-deals-updated-720.html
