Memes That Make You Giggle

We try and pretend we are rural here, but there are farms in Tacoma and all the other smaller surrounding cities. We are actually 4 miles out of town and 2 miles out of the urban growth area.

So we have lots of choice on stores. There are 3 Walmarts within 12 miles. I only go into one of them under duress. Target is worthless as a store to me. They don't carry what I like and their prices are too high. They also try and get all your info if you try and buy cough syrup then say it's state law. It's not. They are only store that does that.

I usually shop Winco for food with a few things from Fred Meyer and some from one of the Safeways. Rare stops into Grocery Outlet.

There are other grocery stores as well. In summer there are farmers markets and off farm sales all over here.

I have no real need of Walmart.

😬 I love self checkout.
1. No cashiers to be weird when I bring my own bags.
2. I'm faster than cashiers. (Except maybe ALDI cashiers)
3. Dramatically shorter wait time in lines, much less likely to faint in a store. Or no need to use my wheelchair.
4. No need to talk to cashiers. I love me some good small town small talk, but not at walmart. Walmart employees dont give a #$&* and aren't encouraged to. Just the store culture.

ALDI got some self checkouts. Best thing to ever happen in that store. I avoided the store because the checkout lines. Now it's quick and easy.

Jmo!

You bag your own groceries at Winco. They have 2 long conveyor belts after the cashier. That way usually one opens by the time it's needed.

They do have a few self checkouts here. Good for if you only have a few items, not for lots.

I've been using cloth bags for decades now. Got tired of plastic bags that tear and Trader Joes had nice canvas ones.

And I was reading this, thinking what a great idea, and how I used to freeze watermelon for the chickens.
Then I read the comment and busted out laughing! Caught me totally unawares!

So the following question would be; Do they use old plastic butter containers to put leftovers? Our did and I have done it too. Trust me, is not a matter of not having good nice expensive containers,lol

When I cleaned out my mom's house, when moving her, she had enough butter containers to restock a stores cooler! And they were right next to a lot of Tupperware. . Oh yeah.
