My mom and daughter and I were headed out to Dollar Tree today to get things
for the annual Christmas surprise ball that I make every year. As we were
passing the Value Village, we saw a goofy looking guy all dressed in purple.
I guess he was advertising for Value Village. But then there were some
normal looking peopled with signs shaped like arrows. The signs said
Walmart. So of course I diverted my van to see what all the hoopla was
about! Much to the dismay of my mother.

It was in fact a Walmart Neighborhood Market. The building had once housed
a Goodwill but that has been gone for years and then it was some sort of
flea market type place that was only open on Saturdays, I think.

I am not sure when this store opened but it looked quite new and they had
stuff outside that made me think it might be their opening day. Like a
balloon artist and a guy doing sketches of people.

It seemed like quite a nice little store although we didn't go down every
aisle. They had a pretty good selection of gluten free items for people who
need to eat that stuff. Including some inexpensive loaves of bread from a
bakery I've never heard of before.

I did buy a few things but not too much food. I did get some fresh
jalapenos but they didn't have any with the scars/marks on them. And a
small package of precooked "fajita" chicken. I have a package of taco
shells that needs to be eaten this coming week so I figured I could try that
for my daughter. I think I do have some beef taco meat in the freezer but
she prefers chicken.

The store was very busy and we even saw one of the cashiers from Winco
shopping in there! Maybe he lives near there? The Winco where he works is
pretty far from there. The store is pretty far from where we live too. So
it's not likely we will go in there again unless we just happen to be in
that area and need something.

They did have a pharmacy and HBA. They had a few aisles of baby things and
toys. Also greeting cards and wrap. I didn't look at the meats but I don't
buy their meat, save for the type of thing that I bought today and I rarely
buy that stuff. The produce section was pretty small but they did seem to
have a good selection of stuff. Not sure they had any organic stuff but I
also wasn't looking.

This will be nice for the people who live in that area. There are a lot of
apartments around in that area and not a lot of grocery stores.
