Watch it at Wal-Mart

There is no Wal-Mart in Sumner. The closest is in Bonney Lake, the next town up the hill. But we go there sometimes as an alternative to Fred Meyer. Wal-Mart is known for good prices, but you have to shop carefully.

The first thing I noticed was a wine display in the main hall of the food aisle. It was really strange, none of the bottles of wine lined up with the published prices. They were often not even close.

Then in the checkout lane, Kathy did an impulse buy and picked up a National Geographic Magazine, it rang up at $13.99. You can get a year's subscription for $15.00. What a rip off! If the price isn't posted at Wal-Mart, don't put it in your cart was the lesson I learned.
