Today was cold and still overcast and dreary. My plan if in-laws had none was to take the kids back to the bigger supermarket(Tessco) 1 stop down all by myself. They didn't think this was a good idea and offered Walmart as a solution. Sure, I wanted to check it out. It started snowing as we walked to the bus stop.
Behind a hopefully temporary construction looking scene there is a strip of malls and Walmart. We ride the cart escalator down. The Walmart generic brand and brand of clothing is the same here. But it is very Chinese in the style of clothes and items in the store. I found more Kinder eggs, italian seasoning, cinnamon sticks and the spices they use on the street meat kabobs! We found a liter box of skim milk from Germany that the kids like. They had more chocolate here than other places like M&M's and Dove. They did have a toy department and most of the stuffed animals are in plastic bags else they are dirty. But no real games to speak of; just chinese checkers and puzzles. I've never had such dirty hands just from shopping around.
Now the bus stop there was on the store side of the street, so to return we had to get to the other side. Across 4 lanes to the divide under the bridge that serve as a bus depot, across another 4 lanes to the other side. A bit hairy, I don't think I'd drag the kids there by myself. But I will need to go look around again.
