Lessons learned from buying tons
Lessons learned from buying tons of stuff at Walmart in Lubbock, packing it in a box, and shipping it to NYC:
1. Walmart is still a hellish, crowded suburban experience, rife with swarming children, beeping cell phones, and a parking lot bigger than Manhattan.
2. It's not really cheaper.
3. Yes, five bucks saved. Eighteen dollars to ship the box.
4. Except for the instant gravy packets (bad idea because of the cholesterol, natch), all readily available here in NYC.
5. Money saved, weightwise, by throwing out protective box surrounding toothpaste tube: ten cents. Time spent cleaning after tube ruptures and covers EVERYTHING in a blue gel goo: PRICELESS.
