I have not stepped foot inside a Walmart in 10 years..and only went then because my best friend had a gift certificate that was burning a hole in her pocket.

My husband's company gave out $100 gift certificates to all employees at Xmas time & I re-gifted it to our son in Texas..they were expecting our grand-daughter (born 12/31) and needed stuff & Walmart was their closest store.
