*Is a happy girl*

I'm a very happy girl right now. I usually have a horrible time finding comfortable clothes and shoes since I'm a plus sized woman and just about every clothing manufacturer seems to think that all women are skin and bones. About the only place I find nice plus-sized clothing for a reasonable price Wal-Mart. Say what you want about their business practices but Wal-Mart carries nice stuff for a good price. I went to Wally World yesterday and found some cute peasant tops in my colors for $12 a piece, found a pair of ballet flats for $11 and July's issue of Cosmo for around $50, then I went back to find a pair of flip-flops and got flip-flops (I finally get why people like them so much, they're cheap and comfortable), chicken and coating for $7 and change. *Sighs happily* I'm insanely happy right now.

I was at Wal-Mart three times last week. The second time, we were stuck in the checkout line forever. And I'm going again on Tuesday to get The Sims 3.

I'm glad you found the stuff you needed for cheap prices!

I love Wal-Mart chicken. It's so good.

Yeah, I've had that happen, but I try to do the express lane or U-Scan. Yeah, I was so happy to find stuff I liked for a good price, I can't get that in the mall.

YAY!!!!!..I'm happy for you!! *does the happy-electronic-dance*
I have the some trouble that you have with clothes. I'm not a plus size. But I often have tons of problems finding clothes of my size.
Not all of us are models, dammit!!...lol
Anyway, like you, I buy a lot in market that are Wal-Mart-ish.

Hugs

Yay!! That's so awesome. Ro is also really heavy and has trouble finding places to shop, so I know what it can be like. She usually ends up in tears. But I love buying clothes at Wal-Mart too.
*hugs*

*Joins in dance* I so rarely find stuff anywhere that I like and fits me, it's a red-letter day that I find both and it's usually at Wal-Mart.

I'm not really heavy, I'm a size 18/20 but it's just enough that finding comfortable clothes that I like is a real pain because everything is always a size too small. *Hugs back*

It's always good when you're able to find clothes that fit you perfectly :). I'm not much of a shopping girl but when I do go, I get very excited when I find something I really like :D.

We don't have Wal-Mart here so I can't really appreciate it much but it kind of sounds like Target in Australia :).

Happy days for you~

Yeah, me too. I just realized that I only had a few t-shirts that fit and they were all worn out and I had nothing dressy to wear.

Yeah, Wal-Mart sells just about everything; food, books, clothes, movies, games, electronics, gardening stuff, sports equipment, house stuff. And it's cheap, so that helps. :D

I have that problem. I'm between plus sized and non-plus (12) and i'm only 5 ft tall; the only place i can find clothes that will fit me without a bunch of pricey alterations is WalMart. I love Wally World.

I love Wal-Mart, I'd go there everyday if I had the money and the time because I rarely don't find something I want.
