Late last year I won a $500 Walmart gift card. (Thank you Walmart and Merlene). Now, I’ve been shopping at Walmart for years and I know that they regularly have the lowest prices on most items that I buy. But I think when you’ve been shopping at a store for so long you stop comparing prices and you hope that you’re getting the best deals. Well, I have been waiting for the right time to use this gift card. I’m not an impulse buyer and I didn’t want to use it on something frivalous (although I should have!). There were lots of things I could have bought…toys for my son (but I’m about to be run out of my house by Elmo)…a new digital camera (in hopes of masking my lack of photograpy skills)…groceries (practical but boringly necessary). But I finally decided to meet somewhere in the middle and buy someting I wanted and mostly things we needed as a family. When I sat down and evaluated all I had purchased, I was quite impressed.
1. Nintendo Wii (for Mii)
2. Hair Clips (because my son broke mine)
3. Easter Basket including 2 Children’s Easter books, plush Easter bunny, 12 plastic eggs, red Hot Wheels Easter Eggsclusive car, and Dove Truffle Eggs (who am I kidding…those are not for my son)
4. Conditioner
5. Nuby Flip N Slip Sippy Cup (BPA Free of course)
6. 2 sets of Organic Cotton Sheet sets for our new King bed
7. Toddler Bed
8. Safety Gate for our son’s doorway
Ok…so I bought all that and STILL have about $24 left. Can you believe it? I wish I could find you all of the links to all of the products but unfortunately, online inventory differs from in-store inventory. If you see something you’d like to know more about, just leave me a comment and I’ll help you out!
By the way, you may have noticed that cute new button on my right side bar. Yes…I am now a proud member of More Than Elevenmoms. This is “an exploratory community seeking to define the role of a larger community inspired by the elevenmoms group.” I’ll definitely update you on the lastest happenings!

Walmart has the BEST prices. I have to admit: the “environment” isn’t my favorite…but the prices can’t be beat! 🙂
Tell us more about More Than Elevenmoms. It sounds intriguing. I love that Walmart is jumping into the blogosphere with such gusto!
