I am not a Walmart hater – just wanted to say that first thing. The reason that I put this one down on my list was because I went there so often. I think on average I went to Walmart probably about 2-3 times a week; I went for my normal grocery shopping and for any random things needed (food, work supplies, light bulbs, Christmas decor, make-up … you get the point). So, this was more of a challenge for me to just see if I could do it. Could I go a month without going to Walmart?
So the results: it wasn’t as hard as I was expecting. But this is mostly because two months ago a Hy-Vee opened in town. This has become my new favorite for grocery shopping because it’s a more enjoyable experience and I’m not spending much more on groceries. So then for all that other random stuff I just had to figure out different ways to get it. I went to Target a few times, or found other places in Manhattan to get stuff. Or else I could decide to just go without what I thought that I had desperately needed. :)
