If staying in Seagrove...

An old friend who lives in western PA inherited the family furniture store from his dad. One day over lunch in a local diner, he overhears 3 guys in ties in the next booth:

Guy 1: So who's the furniture competition here?
Guy 2: Names my friend's store
Guy 1: Oh, they're small time. They'll be out of business in a year.

WalMart opened, and they were...

Meanwhile, over at Target, they sponsor Target House. Easy choice for me.

Meanwhile, whoever is behind the e-mail forward regarding Target not supporting veterans / salvation army / Santa Claus / (insert charity here) is working overtime. It landed in my yahoo inbox three times this morning, from three different people.

I think Wal-Mart is behind it.

They probably are - one of those idiotic urban legends. I get one of these stupid things a week from my mother-in-law. Slap the word "veteran" on it and people believe that it must be true. Her brother is an Air Force Vet and he falls for this crap all the time.

DO NOT GO TO THE WALMART IN PCB!!!!! I was told that they have lost many many employees. This is after I abandoned a buggy full of stuff. There are only a few (6-8) cashiers and that is including the express lanes. I stood in line the other day for 35 minutes. (I know I am CRAZY) anyway I just went to Kmart by the bridge to get some other items. There is a Sams in PC and if you go that far there is another Walmart that is maybe a 1/2 mile east of there.

Totally agree that PCB is much more crowded and..dirty imo. Can't wait for the Target to open!

I called my friend coming into town Friday and told her whatever she has to do, avoid Publix on Saturday afternoon at all costs..........

So, when I was in Publix Saturday afternoon - - I was next to someone complaining about "How ridiculous it is to stock Publix on a Saturday afternoon"
If they didn't restock as people empty the shelves, the shelves would be exactly that - empty!!!!

But, I'm NOT going this Saturday -- I swear, I'm really not!!!!

things you can only get at a wal-mart supercenter

frozen peas and carrots cut in cubes the same size as the peas (for chinese dishes, especially fried rice and kung pao) and sun dried red chillis (in the mexican section)

brach's bridge mix and whitman's (i think it is whitman's) smores in the gold box

pre-sliced, truly saturated, frozen garlic toast (to be heated on the grill)


put them all into the deep freeze and head for the beach!

Our lesson learned the hard way..
We went to the Publix in Watercolor last year just before July 4th and I thought my always calms husband would go all road rage. The aisles were too narrow and the vacation-crazed shoppers were psycho. We vowed never to darken that door again. A day later we stopped in the Publix at Sandestin and loved it. It was like night and day....
