hypocrite
**mood: rested but hungry
**noise:i believe in love ~ the indigo girls
i felt i needed to post this for all of you to see just how much of a hypocrite i am. i shopped at walmart yesterday. and after about a 2 month conversation back and forth with steve, we've decided to buy certain things at the store. as we continue to live on 1 salary and the fact that we'll soon have another one to clothe and feed, we decided to do some cost comparisons of a few things.
yesterday we picked out a crib at babies r us. very cute and one of the cheapest, yet sturdy, cribs we could find. the cost...$299.99. we could have gotten one of their credit cards which would have given us 10% off. the mattress we chose was one of the lowest end mattresses, at 79.99. so lets see. 299.99+79.99 = 379.98-10%= approx.342.00. they didn't have the crib in stock so we put our names on the list and decided to finally make a run over to the local walmart to just start checking out prices. by the way, we also heard walmart is selling organics now...
we found a crib. almost the same as the one at babies r us. super cool, plus it came in at 150 bux. we looked at the mattresses and they were selling the exact same mattress we were going to buy at the other store but here it was only 69.99. so for 220 bux we got the crib and mattress rather than the 342 bux at babies r us. seeing that we already were saving 122 bux in the place, my interest was peaked, so i ventured over to the food.
it's crazy what they have and they aren't even fully stocked. there's no meat or produce yet. it will be interesting to compare prices in a few months.
so yes. to all of you who care. i'm a hypocrite. i'm sorry i go off on things then become selfish and change my mind when it fits my lifestyle. you can publicly lash me if you'd like. and if you see me in walmart, feel free to shun me.
