I'm talking groceries only, tiffy. We've done price comparisons and Walmart is considerably cheaper than the other grocery options around here.
Yep I got a good deal on smoked-meat and a loaf of bread during my visit, but generally the major-grocers in this area have better selection, and comparable, if not better prices; ie more sale-items on any given day.
Found a house party for New Year's Eve; Canada/USA World-Junior-hockey grudge match. Looks like beer, pizza and whatever. Good to go! Canada btw coming off last night's 10-2 destruction of the Danes, which was preceded by routs of both the Finns and Czechs. Could be ugly for the Stars and Stripes tomorrow.

Now that sounds like the kind of party I could discreetly gatecrash :)

a lot of the stuff at Wal Mart is cheaply made - hence most of it is made in the Asia and the Far East
we bought some 600 thread count cotton bed sheets and they lasted 1 month, starting getting holes in them from the washer
and our washer is the new front loading kind with the whole inside of it that tumbles, there is not an agitator in the middle of it to pull the garments down into the water
we have 200 thread count bed sheets that are still in once piece after almost 10 years

Like some blasted acid trip.
Well, Blighty's slipped into 2012 somewhat bumpily. Fireworks display in London vaguely reminiscent of how Guy Fawkes' attempt would've looked like with the stuff shooting out of Big Ben.
Lor', New Years greetings to all and sundry.

NYE wasn't too bad in the end. Went out with my parents for dinner and then went to a party with my friends afterwards and had shots :drunken:

Unlike some, I'm not going out for New Years. I have to be at work tomorrow at 9am. Such is retail.
I am, however, 5 beers deep and the night is still young, even with my early morning. So tonight may not be such a loss after all.

Happy 2012 people.

The more the important question is - where shall I come over, Fae?
