When it
comes to groceries… my husband and I disagree on where to shop for them. Our
choices are limited. We have four places available to us. I tend to shop at a
place called Meijers. My husband prefers Walmart. Until recently I didn’t
understand his obsession for the huge box store. Now I do. I shop at Meijers because I like the
atmosphere and the ethnic food readily available... not to mention their other products. With my husband it’s
strictly about money. We use 2% milk, and at the store I favor… it costs
approximately $2 for a half a gallon. At Walmart my husband pays a mere
fifty-seven cents for that milk. A dozen jumbo eggs at Walmart costs only forty cents. At Meijers…
again, it’s closer to $2. A bag of ready made salad costs $1.42 at Walmart, but
at Meijers costs approximately $3. As much as I love the store I frequent, who
can argue with prices reminiscent of a bygone era offered by Walmart. They certainly have my attention now that
we’re exclusively on Social Security. But I’m eyeing Aldi’s too. Atmosphere and availability are no longer my only criteria. COST is priority number one.
