34. I ordered online at Walmart today - for pickup

Apr 2020

I usually shop at Whole Foods but did not want to go into a large store). I could only order 2 of lots of items - almost all the varieties of cat food - only 2 of each, kombucha tea only 2 per flavor, etc for most items. I ordered $165 worth of food but when it totaled up at end - $30 was deducted for food I ordered that they didn’t have. They have no white flour even listed on their web page. I had to wait 2 days to get on schedule to pickup my food which I do tomorrow.
