Welcome To Wal-Mart, Please Leave Your Brain and Your Wallet At The Door.

Christine let me go to Wal-Mart on the weekend. Without her. Uh-oh!

Angelina and I left for North Van (nothing good can ever come from a trip to North Van) with a list and a plan, which included sticking to a budget. Good intentions are a wonderful thing.....

I swear Wally World is the Evil Empire. Once I get past the front doors, I'm no longer in control of myself. I wander the aisles seeing tons of merchandise I simply must have, even though I wasn't aware we needed it.

How does one spend $314 and change and come home with virtually nothing? Do the powers that be at Wal-Mart pump mind-altering drugs through the ventilation system? Are the Wal-Mart Greeters all Voodoo Priests and Priestesses? That I even want to shop at Wal-Mart, an organization that flies in the face of my far-left-of-centre belief in fair employment practices, boggles my mind.

Yet I go, I spend, then I wonder what the hell happened.

Christine wants me to go the self-banning route, like gambling addicts who ar voluntarily tossed out of casinos. It's a thought.

Thank God I still have London Drugs......
