Wal*Mart to the Rescue!
Wal*Mart has saved my bacon.
I have 60 rows to go on this shawl and will soon be OUT OF YARN! This reality of not having enough yarn to finish the shawl hit me the night before Thanksgiving.
I called all around to the places that sell yarn and nobody had my yarn. Since I had bought it at Wal*Mart I called there and they didn't have it in stock and next shipment for yarn was unknown. The gal who worked in the yarn department called all the other Wal*Marts in the area...six of them, and they didn't have it either. She suggested going online and checking Wal*Mart's website.
I did that and guess what...I got to order the yarn plus a few other goodies, like a new popcorn maker and some shawl pins.
FREE SHIPPING and it will all be delivered Thursday via UPS. KUDO's to Wal*Mart. I'll never say anything against them again, lol!Freedom is not the right to do as you please, but the liberty to do as you ought!

I am a huge Walmart fan. We have a super Walmart with an enormous grocery section. If I can't find it at Walmart, no one in my area has it. Glad they were able to get you what you needed.

I'm now a HUGE fan of buying the yarn from their website (Wal*Mart). It comes so nicely packaged and isn't all pulled apart, etc., by the little darlings whose parents don't teach them how to behave in a store!
The difference is incredible! So if you know in advance what yarn you want to buy, I would recommend the website.Freedom is not the right to do as you please, but the liberty to do as you ought!

I do, too! I live very close to both a Neighborhood Market, with groceries, and a Super Center, with groceries and everything else. I am in there several times a week. I've gotten to know many of the clerks and employees. They are always so pleasant and helpful. I've never had a bad experience shopping there.

Living on a severe budget, I get 90% of my yarn from Walmart, and the rest through sales and gifts from Michael's and Joanna.

That is very nice, I can't say I have had a bad experience with them. But around here if you ask a question they usually say they don't know. They really don't try to help out like that. I quit asking about anything long time ago.
