I hope ya'll are doing well. We are slowly but surely settling into our new routine and town. We are really loving it. There are so many wonderful family things to do and as we speak we are getting ready to head out to the farmer's market and park. The absolute hardest thing for me to get used to though, is that my only grocery options are Walmart and a small store called Harps. There is a Dillons (Kroger affiliate) and Safeway only 55 miles north and while I plan on driving there once a month or so to stock up on certain items and take part in Mega Sales, etc, I will have to utilize my local choices when in a pinch. Don't get me wrong, I'm not too "good" to shop and Walmart, I promise you that! As stated in
this post over at Southern Savers, it is just so much cheaper to shop at a grocery store that runs specials and takes coupons. I used to go way over budget at Wal-mart and that was usually buying the off brand stuff. Also, my shopping experience is never as pleasant at Walmart than it is at Kroger. Have ya'll experienced this as well?
So, let's dish about it. Do you grocery shop at Walmart? What have you found to be a good bargain, etc? Do you think I'm crazy for driving to a grocery store an hour away? ;)
