Ahhh it's the little things...

So I managed to keep track of points today! Yeah me! I'll be back in the game in no time! HBB and I took a shopping trip (as promised yesterday) to buy him some geeky things and me some more nutritional yeast and food from Walmart.

Okay, I've just admitted that I shop at Walmart. It's a love hate relationship though. Today I actually called their customer service line asking why it was the retail giant is not stepping up to the line and giving it's shoppers discounts for using reusable shopping bags. I mean, if you are going to go through hell to get that extra big box of microwave popcorn and that tub of Jif, you can at least be environmentally friendly, right? I spoke to a very pleasant gentleman who listened as I told him how wonderful King Soopers and Whole Paycheck were for giving me a little reward for protecting the environment. I think he thought I was nuts. But, he passed along the information to the management. Or so he said. I just can't seem to stop myself from shopping there! Believe me, I tried to break up with Walmart last week. But there I was again today, googly eyed over the gallon jug of white vinegar I bought that cost me under $2. What's a girl to do? Walmart is like that badass biker boy you know you shouldn't date because it's only going to lead to trouble - without the black leather or cool factor though. And honestly, I'm so broke I don't know if I can afford my values right now! Don't get me wrong -- I love me some Ezekiel bread and those $5 mangoes at Whole Paycheck make me drool. But I'm a single working girl with a mortgage and debt and a gas tank to fill. So forgive me out there.......some day I will break up with Walmart, just not today.

Sigh. I feel dirty now. I think I might have to take a shower. Stupid Walmart.
