A couple of days ago I was over at Walmart and I had two revelations, both of which seemed like they could be a blog topic, so this entry will be a two-fer.

Walmart = Little Bit Ripped Off

I was doing my food shopping at Walmart, something I don't normally do, and I said to myself hey, these kool-aid single packs are much cheaper here than they are at Tops, then I realized that the box I was looking at was a 10 pack, not the 12 pack that I had purchased a week or so earlier at Tops, when I got home I noticed that the 12 and 10 packs both came in the same sized box. I also noticed when I got home that the box of microwave popcorn I had purchased was a 5 pack, not a six pack like the ones that I would normally purchase at Tops or Wegman's. Now it is possible that Walmart is attempting to revolutionize the grocery shopping industry by putting everything in boxes that are multiples of 5, possibly in an attempt to make price comparisons easier for the customer. But I think that Walmart is trying to confuse the customer into thinking that they're getting a better deal than they really are. All this really does for me is make me feel that every time I give my money to Walmart I might be getting a little ripped off.

F**k Sugar Free

While shopping I realized that there are just way too many sugar free products. I mean do we really need sugar free kool-aid, or sugar free twinkies? I realy feel that most of the products that are available as sugar free now really shouldn't be. Now I'm no doctor, but if I were I would tell anyone who is so concerned about their weight that they would buy sugar free twinkies that maybe they should try to avoid the sugar altogether.
