**EDIT** the prices line up on my end- they are just crooked on here- yes, it bugs me! ;)
I did a little grocery shopping today for some of our weekly stuff and I knew that our Walmart (across the street) was getting ready to have all it's cold foods in stock. You see, it's always been the ghetto, more white trash version of a Walmart, but for the past 6 months, they have been renovating it, making it a Super Walmart! All I have to say is- It is SUPER! I am in love. I can not wait until it is fully stocked! We have about 2 more weeks until it is finished, but I love how clean and shinny it looks!!! It makes me feel better about shopping at a Walmart! As far as the prices go- they are literally ONE DOLLAR cheaper, if not more, on EVERYTHING!! I bought some of my grocery items at Walmart- then went to Vons ( for my Organic stuff) and while I was there, I actually went and price compared the items I had just bought at Walmart. Here is the comparison:
Walmart Vons
Sara Lee Bread 2.48 4.19
Tampax Tampons 5.47 5.89
Jiffy PB 1.50 3.50
Eggo Pancakes 2.44 4.39
Coke Zero 3.99 5.99
Rice Krispies 3.99 3.99
Special K Strawberry 3.98 4.99
" " Blueberry 3.98 4.99
TOTAL: $26.83 $37.93 $$$11.10 in SAVINGS!!!!!!!!!!!
Those are just the things I bought this week- so I could compare, next week will be a bigger shopping trip, and I will price check again!!! I am so addicted to this saving money thing, I am going to start a Personal Challenge tomorrow. Come back and read what it is tomorrow!!!! :)

OMG! Thats amazing. We went to Target as a family today and Paul kept a running tally in his head...my goal was to get under 120, and when we put the last item in our basket he said it was 112...our total was 111.89....amazing!!!
I love this...please do it next week! I can't believe the diff in the bread! In-freakin-credible.
Now...I know this has nothing to do with Walmart but don't forget what I told you about Trader Joes milk...A GALLON of ORGANIC milk from TJ's is $1.79 as opposed to almost $5 or $6 from the grocery store!!! Milk and eggs...organic, cage free, eggs are $1.39 a dozen. TJ's Rocks!!!
TRUE!!!! I am going to have a shopping list for 3 stores next week.... maybe I can eliminate Vons all together. Don't get me wrong.... I LOVE Vons- but milk for $1.79 versus 5.99.... HELLO!!! :)
