My area, the duct tape is sufficient for some.
*wincing*

Ping.

You were buying allergy medicine and you were tempted to buy antibiotics!

[musical_airman]

You said exactly what I was thinking before I could post it. Actually, that sounds like the demographic for all of mid GA......ugh.......

[cjshapi]

Wouldn't you know this is my favorite place to shop? We have a new super center here and it is spotless.

But I'd feel like a real dork with a red bow on my cart.

"Wal-Mart is now pitching itself as the new dating hot spot -- with everyday low prices to boot."

Well, one does run into ALL sorts of people there. LOL!

[sweetliberty]

"You might be a redneck...."

You read my mind!

[cupcakes]

But somehow you know the type of people in there even with your very limited experience venturing in one. Funny how that works;-)

Ms Staplegun's younger sister?

[Darksheare]

Pretty much!

But she was cute at least.

[Darksheare]

I'm afraid so, or at least a cousin.
I dunno, but the duct tape was way out of place with the other items in the cart.

[pax_et_bonum]

So.... what makes everybody think that only women would be marketed through Wal-Mart?

[Clemenza]

Well, has the customer base changed much since 2000?

[nascarnation]

Trash it all you want but when I do the food shopping on Tuesday nights there, I see a lot of very nice looking soccer moms.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Maybe she was just going to fix the bumper on her car. :)

There are 2 schools of thought on that...

[Darksheare]

One would hope, as there is automotive duct tape.
But this was the silver stuff.

[Darksheare]

LOL!

"the duct tape was way out of place with the other items in the cart"

Maybe she wanted to make sure those ribbed trojies stayed on good and tight!

"You can tell a lot by a person by what is in their buggy..."

Hmmm....hadn't thought about that, but you're probably right. Let's see what you can tell about me from what was in my buggy after last night's trip to Walmart:

A box of cereal (Special K with Berries), 2 gallons of distilled water, 2 packages of rice cakes, 5 bananas, a large box of cat litter, a 24 pack of Diet Coke, a package of AA batteries, a package of walnuts, a package of almonds, an insulated water bottle (with a strap), 6 cans of tuna fish (solid white), an address book, a coupon file, a t-shirt, a small clay saucer, a small feeding dish.....and about 75 pounds of wild bird food.

I have no life?
