I live in a small midwest town with very limited shopping options. Our closest Target is 70 miles away! We are do have Walmart & Kmart with of course the traditional dying main street stores (but not due to those 2 stores). Anyhoo - I always try to go somewhere else then Walmart because, well you know. But honestly folks - 9 times out of 10 I still end up going to Walmart. Someone could die in our Kmart & it would take a act of congress for the body to get moved. OK - maybe I am exaggerating a bit but not much. My son worked there one holiday season & I think even I could run that place more effectively. Maybe I should write to Martha... I have wasted more time there looking for stuff - it would have been cheaper to drive 70 miles to our closest 'shopping' town. I don't think I would drive thru the parking lot for the free candy even if they were tossing it into my open window.
