Walmart is the closest point between the last bus stop and my
house. So the cab ride home is cheapest from there. And they
have a bathroom, which comes in handy after 1.5 hours on the bus.

I've bought cob-smoked ham twice and green onions once. That's
the extent of the things I've bought there in the last 6 weeks.
And I stop to read some labels here and there. Sosueme. Oh, and
the can of Libby's beets pictured on ABF tonight came from Walmart
($.83 at Walmart compared to $.58 at my normal HEB. Even the
"Great Value": brand was $.84).

Yes, I read labels. And I remember the prices of most everything
I buy.
