I noticed that Walmart has expanded their listing for items! I wanted a particular cookbook, and they also had a used copy listed for half the price. Since I’m not picky, I ordered that one, and it was signed by the Author. Score!

I also discovered two tricks:

If you want to save $ on food, do a search for ‘foods under $2.00’ and you’ll see a LOT of unadvertised sales items. I do that, and also $1.00 items, which are usually canned meals (Chef Boyarde, etc.) that I buy for the Food Pantry.

They also have a tab for ROLLBACKS which are all kinds of discounted items; food, clothing, household, soap, shampoo, junk from China, etc. ;)

I wouldn’t go any smaller than the 5.5 quart Dutch Oven. Get the 6 quart if you can swing it. You won’t regret going bigger when it comes to those.

Never noticed the roll back tab and will check the $1-2 items sometime.

Never made it to TC. I don't actually need anything they have on sale there. Still ended up being over a 4 hour trip with stops at 4 grocery stores, including WM.

Got a bunch of food, the 5.5 qt Indigo Dutch oven and a set of 12 Corelle dinnerware. That will get rid of at least one of four patterns in our current mismatched Corelle.

The Dutch oven is kind of a peachish beige inside. Didn't even pay attention to the inside pic online.

All this talk of kitchen colors. I'll be drywalling this place before Winter. Maybe I have a paint color.
