Okay - I know you've been following my blog...and thank you for that! I have been thinking about this really great idea that I had a while back. It involves Walmart (I like that store). Every time I'm in Walmart, I seem to have random conversations with other shoppers. I should also tell you that I'm fairly persuasive. For example, Dempsters launched a new rye bread with fruit in it. I checked the price (good deal) and thought hey, that'd be great to try. There was an older lady hemming and hawing around the display, handling the bread and then put it back. I said this is a great deal. She said really? You think so? I said of course. You can't get raisin bread for any less than $3.49 - so this is a good buy. Well, didn't she pick up a loaf and put it in her cart. Ta da!
Then, on the same trip, another lady had picked up 6 Pizzaretta's. I had the same in my cart. We talked about how great they are - although it was me doing all the talking (surprise surprise). I went on about how you can pronounce the ingredient list (thanks to Angie for that tidbit) and that my kids love them. Well, didn't she go back and pick up 4 more! That's how it's done. Mommies are the best network around!!
So, back to my idea...(sorry, I was off on a tangent again!) I think that Walmart should hire mommies to push carts around the store and and converse with other parents about products. Although, with people like me in their stores, offering this service for free, why would they pay! Ha! Ha! I just thought of that. Oh well. I still like Walmart even if they don't hire me. And I love being part of that huge mommy network!
Keep smiling!
