It's Wednesday --You found WHAT? at W---mart

It's Wednesday, and time to share the odd, the bizarre, quirky, or just plain weird things you may have seen when you were at the store. Whether it is that (in-)famous big box or your local Mom-'n-Pop store, share with us what tickled your funny bone this week!

Inspired by Karla at Ramblin' Roads (who showed us a crazy bus), I want to show you a vehicle I saw at good ol' W -- mart some time ago when it came to my town.

Here I am with our 12 year old. The Oscar Mayer mobile actually is driven from place to place.
Here are the drivers, with a handy sandwich board of facts about their hot-doggin' vehicle.

Pretty cool, wouldn't you say?

So, join in the fun, and show us what you've seen. Let me know in comments, and I'll be sure to come over and take a look!

It's Wednesday - - You found WHAT !? ! at W .. -mart

It is Wednesday again,

and I am inviting y'all to join in and let me know what's caused you to do a double take when out shopping. Doesn't have to be a big box store, anyplace will do. Let me know in comments that you've posted it on your blog. I'd love to come and see!

So, in Utah, LDS (Mormon) folks like to be prepared (like the boy scouts) -

and one area of preparation is to store food and water for emergencies-

physical /weather related disasters, financial difficulties, etc.

So I wasn't too surprised to see large containers for water storage at my local 'big box' store. Next to the blue water containers (abt 50-55 gallon size),

there are smaller buckets to hold food, grains, what have you.

But... I was surprised to see
end caps of wheat bags! hmm, 25 lbs for 14.86, I've seen it for $11 at the Provo W.. -mart store..

a sign of the times, for sure!

Let me know if you have something that made you laugh (or cry) when you were out and about.

It's Wednesday - - You found WHAT !? ! at W-mart

I've been toying with this idea for a while - this will be an occasional blog theme and it will be on Wednesday. Here's the deal - for a long time I never shopped at Wal-mart. Now, I go once a week (and try to keep it to ONLY once a week). They do have almost everything, y'know.

It's a great place to people-watch.

And, every so often, I see the oddest things while I am at shopping. Not always at W**-mart, as it shall hereafter be referred to, but usually. So, if you see something funny/bizarre/strange/weird/etc./etc. while you are out shopping, comment here, and I would love to see it! And I'll be here on Wednesday, letting you in on the odd-ball things I find when I am getting my weekly W**-mart fix in.

So- there's the souvenir section at good old W** , just made for a tourist who is in a hurry and needs a tacky wooden saying, state thimble, or other cheap souvenir.

This is, of course, a shot glass. Moderately funny that there is a shot glass for Utah, but not everyone is LDS (Mormon) and a non-drinker here. You can see a wagon, commemorating the pioneers who crossed the plains to settle Utah.

A seagull, looking a lot like an eagle, which commemorates the Miracle of the Seagulls here in Utah. Tacky, but, nothing too unusual - until you turn your little $2.57 souvenir a bit more and see-

the Salt Lake Temple???!!??
Now that is just not right! Funny, yes, ironic, chintzy, and just too odd for words. Maybe this is what you are s'posed to buy on your way home from attending the temple so you can have a drink to relax???
Wrapping up - let me know what you've seen on your last shopping trip. The world is a funny place.
