Later, 9:28 a.m. CDT: I just got back from Walmart -- a bicycle trip -- it's already 88°F and feels like 100! Whatever. Eggs: a dozen, white, fresh, large, grade A, from badly-treated chickens for $1.22. Had I wanted, I could have paid $5.72 for a dozen "organic, free-range" eggs. No thanks.
Every time I go to Walmart I'm reminded how much better it is than Target, just down the street and slightly closer to home. Walmart:
- is currently remodeling their home and garden section; will be very, very nice;
- has just re-done their parking lot; looks awesome
- is much less crowded during "off-hours" than Target during "busy hours";
- never seems to run out of anything; and,
- best of all -- no waiting to pay (compare with long lines at Target) -- so many self-pay stations.
I was looking for a single one-inch white binder: a pack of four, recently $12.21, was "rolled back to $8.48, easily beating the price at Target.
Later I will stop by Target and see the price for eggs.
Belk: my wife took two of the granddaughters to shop for back-to-school clothes yesterday. Her haul:
Amazon: simply amazing. Between Walmart and Amazon, I can pretty much get anything I want / need. I was introduced to this amazing soy sauce about a year when visiting Portland, OR. At the "spice" shop, it retailed for $50. Through Amazon, I get the soy sauce overnight, no shipping costs, for $27. Lasts me about six months. I use it sparingly.

Note: this includes all variety of eggs, including the incredibly expensive "organic" (whatever that means, cage-free, and free-range. In our neck of the neighborhood, "organic, cage-free, free-range eggs go for upwards of $6.00 / dozen.
Memo to self: check out the price of eggs at Walmart and Target, and report back.
