With The Wifely Unit being sick, the oldest boy being off his feed and me feeling light headed, beat tired and weird also, we didn’t get to make our weekly trek to Wally World yesterday.

The one she insists on shopping at five miles away when there is one literally one mile from here.

“Because they don’t have what I want”.

Yeah, sure. Whatever.

Sick folk or not, there’s certain things we were running low on.

BECAUSE SHE ONLY SHOPS FOR ONE FUCKING WEEK AT A TIME!

That means You Know Who had to step up to the plate and go get that shit.

Amazingly enough, I managed to find the exact same shit at the one closer that she swears up and down they never have.

Mhh Hmm.

While I was in there wandering up and down the aisles I ran into something that surprised me but only a little bit.

Something very out of the ordinary that I am sure most of the Sheeple walked right by without even a second glance.

I know that while I was taking this picture, some lady excused herself because she thought she had walked into it as I was snapping it and didn’t notice why I was taking this particular picture until I explained why to her. THEN, the lightbulb came on.

See if this isn’t one of those things that make you go HMMM.

Nothing unusual for Wal Mart right?

Just a bunch of camping and Sporting goods stuff, right?

Except it’s smack dab right in the middle of one of the Grocery aisles where they normally carry their Candy.

The Camping and Sporting Goods section is clear across the other side of the building, about 75 YARDS away.

The Wifely Unit also had a conniption fit when I told her what it cost.

She was convinced that true to form, I had bought a bunch of extra shit.

Of course I did, I was the one shopping this time and I got a couple of things I wanted.

But not near enough to explain the total price. So she DEMANDED to see the receipt of course so she could go over it line item and rake me over the coals.

When she started pointing things out I explained them calmly and she would just shake her head and move on.

It’s when she got to the Cat Food that she finally exploded.

I got the exact same brand and amount that she has been buying every week.

She swore up and down she had only been paying Ten Dollars for it.

That’s some fine selective memory you got there honey because I have been paying attention to that shit and you have been paying TWENTY, just like this batch.

Try as she might, she couldn’t really pin anything on me other that I bought some REAL Tillamook Sharp Cheddar Cheese instead of the cheap Wally World brand.

Like I said, I was the one doing the shopping and I got what I WANTED.

Fuck that cheap plastic tasting Cheese shit.

So I think, maybe, juuuuust mayyyvbe, this whole INFLATION MAKES THINGS COST MORE concept I have been hammering on her for months with, finally got a sliver of recognition.

Hard to say because as sick as she is it probably went in one ear and right the fuck out the other, just like most things I try to tell her.

Eventually she will figure it out on her own.

It’s just a matter of the grocery bill shooting through the roof some random week and she finally gets the clue.

I know I have been watching it go up every week for the last 8 months.

Same Same with the Supply issue.

Even as hard as Wally World is trying to hide it,
