Most people who know me know that i don't shop at Wal-Mart.

Honestly, i believe enough people shop there and make them the most successful corporation in the world without me.

And maybe, just maybe i can hold onto a sliver of my soul.

Maybe.

Anyway, last night i was getting ready for another night of unbridled depravity after picking up some groceries and Chinese food, but my trusty Celica decided it was a good night to stay home.

After almost seven years... i guess that battery didn't really owe me any favors. Hell, it outlasted my relationship!

So, my father... with the best of intentions... told me to go to Wal-Mart and pick up a $35 battery. Even if they sell stuff that isn't of the quality, i can afford to run a $35 battery for a couple of years.

Here's the kicker tho'... i'm only two minutes away from the local Interstate Batteries dealer, which happens to be the brand i had in the car for the last seven years.

And i replaced the battery for only $27.

See people! You've been conditioned that Wal-Mart "always" has the lowest prices... but somehow i manage to save plenty of money and i don't shop there.

There's something to be said for us old-fashioned bargain hunters! =^)

What i'm listening to:

Lullaby
The Cure
Disintegration
