The gas jokes are making the rounds and I thought this one was funny!
One of my girlfriends told me she doesn't shop at Walmart much as they don't have ethical policies, perhaps in how they treat their employees, etc. She prefers stores like Costco. Well, have you looked closely at a Walmart advertising flyer recently?
In this ad, I would assume I could buy a fitted sheet for $8, which sounds amazing. If you look closely, that is the price for a TWIN size fitted sheet. The prices for Queen and Double are in small print! Well, I find this to be very misleading. Maybe my girlfriend is right! Surely it's all about corporate profit at the busy consumer's expense. At any rate, pay close attention to these flyers if you're out shopping!

David does all the shopping these days, so this type of ad eludes me. He often shops at Target and Kmart and Costco instead of Walmart, but has shopped there on occasion.
Gas prices are sky-high here too; if it carries on I will have to sell my car....Sad, but nothing to do about it! Valerie
so nice joke Chrisrine here the galosine cost is terrible!9
that gas toon made me laugh!! very cute....Wishing you a wonderful day!!!
I'm finding that a lot of stores are running ads like that. It's not particularly misleading, but you DO have to be careful.
Yes, I hate it when they do that. Imagine turning up at the shop only to be told of the fine print.
