Walmart

If you have a Walmart within a 10 km radius from your home … this post is for you!

For all the times I been into the Walmart in Morristown, New Jersey, or in Gatineau, QC or yet in Quebec City… I never thought that one day I would miss a Walmart like I do now. Take yesterday morning for example, my "To Buy List" consisted of toilet paper, Mr. Clean, baby yarn (to start crocheting yet another baby blanket), some walnuts (to make the delicious Nantucket Cranberry Pie that Bidou adores), a birthday card and Bidou needed some mechanic stuff for CCTop. Therefore, my first thought was to go to Walmart. However, when you live in Abitibi, you have the choice between two Walmarts – there is one in Rouyn and the other in Val D'or. In other words, you need to plan a minimum of hour drive each way whenever you need basic household supplies. So basically we haven spent our entire Sunday shopping at Wallmart!!

So please every time you enter your local Wal-Mart (you know the one that when you leave home at 9 a.m. and you get back at 10 a.m.) please think about the people in Abitibi… because the people here can spend their entire Sundays just goings to Walmart to pick up some everyday stuff!
