Crazy Shopping

I went to the nearby yuppie supermarket, Market Street http://www.unitedtexas.com/ , before going home today.  It was crazy.  There were vehicles parked in non-parking lanes.  Yet there were plenty of places to park in the real parking lot, but further from the entrances than the non-parking lanes.

Inside the store, the lines were very long. There were lots of places where customers could sample food, and I tried a couple of things. I bought what I had planned to buy, including some items I can not buy at Wal-Mart http://www.walmart.com/ , where I do most of my shopping.

The store was so prepared for the extra shoppers, they had added an extra cashier line.

Saturday morning, I plan a trip to Wal-Mart for my regular weekly shopping.  I can not help it that my regular shopping day happens to be Christmas Eve.  I could have gone to Wal-Mart tonight, but my experience is that many things I want to buy are missing from the shelves on Friday night. By going early Saturday morning, the shelves will have been re-stocked, and I can get what I want to buy.
