Our Shopping Trips in "Civilization"

WALMART


The Walmart trip was exciting because when we first got there we went straight for the Toy Story 3 Operation game that's on rollback.  Just when we got to the toy section we saw a woman grab the last one!  I was annoyed, but that's life, so we went on to look for the Connect 4.  We found three and it turned out she was looking for them too!  Unfortunately, the three we took were all that was left on the shelf.  She left sad.  David went to get a rain check on the Operation games since we really wanted these games for our donation boxes and found out they had 25 in the back.--We had called ahead to ask if they had any, they said no, not even in the back.  Never trust that!  See our Walmart deal broken down below.
