Oh, I love Walmart. But I did cut back shopping there when our local stores stopped putting stuff in plastic bags, supposedly to be “green”, but really to save money and sell those canvas ones that you never remember to bring with you. And what am I supposed to put stuff from the cat litter box in without those plastic bags, I ask you? And how is it any more “green” if I have to buy plastic bags for that express purpose? Anyway, I do still buy my prescriptions there because they are seriously cheaper than anywhere else, and usually buy clothes and othe sruff when I’m there for the same reason. I’m not making fun of anyone because they shop at Walmart, it’s just that a lot of the customers (especially in some stores) consist of the lazy, crazy, and those who display what Jeff Foxworthy terms “a glorious lack of sophistication”. And sometimes you just gotta have a little fun in life.

Paper bags are better for insulation! Plastic burns with a funny color :>)
