Going Crazy at WalMart

[billroper]

It was time to pick up the school supplies on Katie and Julie's list. I ran to Sam's Club to grab a few things that came in bulk there, then came home and picked up daisy_knotwise and the girls so we could head to WalMart to pick up everything else.

It was a zoo. Yes, WalMart is frequently a zoo, but when the main aisle heading in has a display down the middle of it full of back-to-school items so that there's barely room for a cart to get past on each side, except that everyone needs to stop there to look for things, you have absolute chaos. This took its toll on Gretchen and I, although we did manage to collect almost everything we needed.

Phew!

We did our shopping at Staples, towards the end of July (well, most of it - plus two more stops there & Target). The Back-To-School shopping card has paid for itself several times over. And things were much less hectic (and there were some very nice specials early). Of course, this plan of action depends on the school getting a list of rather early :-)

Here, supply drop-off was this morning, and the first day of classes is Monday. Well, David starts Monday, Michael starts Tuesday, as they divide the kindergarten classes the first two days.
