Cheap and Entertaining
If you've never seen what WalMart or No Frills look like on a Sunday please check it out. It's insane! It's been a while since I'd even been in a WalMart, they're not hip enough for downtown Toronto, and I thought I was going to be run over by a shopping cart before I could buy a $19 hair dryer. I love WalMart, a whole bunch of crap scattered with good deals and there is always an opportunity to make fun of stuff. Pete, Kara and I found all the makings of a P. Diddy video including the huge brandy snifters and furry pillows and I'm sure there were platform shoes somewhere. There are few things funnier than the discount dvd bin. Crappy movies that are so cheap you dig through them for a hidden gem or two. Aside from the few good movies all the rest seem to fall into the category of 'worst movie ever,' I was just disappointed not to find Joe Versus the Volcano because that really is the worst movie ever.
No Frills is always crazy and it's even worse on a Sunday. I always enjoy watching people walking out with carts full of eight 2L cartons of juice -c'mon who needs that much juice? - and flats of everything imaginable. I love all the semi-identifiable foods in huge quanities and trying to decide between saving 10 cents for no name or splurge and buy brand name products. Even if the price is the same everything feels cheaper so then I buy stuff I don't need unless I exercise extreme self control. Today I had to walk away from the salami and spent five minutes deciding whether or not to buy ice cream. Instead I re-stocked my freezer with peanut butter cups and frozen pizza.
