This is VJ, where we appear to have an infinite appetite for the minutiae of each other's lives like we were celebrities. But some of us are "Superstar Members"! In the interests of feeding the collec

I just imagined what life would be like if I was a talking pumpkin. I don't think I'd enjoy being orange.

Walmart doesn't honor those ads for a price match policy. Price match only applies to the advertised price per item. You lucked out.

No I did not luck out.

Here's the price match policy right from the site:

We do not match the price in the following types of competitor ads:

Items that require a separate purchase to get the ad price

example: "Buy [item A] to get [item B] for $C"

Items with no actual price that require a purchase to get free product

example: "Buy both [items A & B] to get [item C] for free"

Items that require a purchase to get a competitors' gift card

example: "Buy [item A] to get a $B gift card

Buy one, get one free (BOGO) ads with no actual price given

Going out of business or closeout prices

Percentage off

example: "All mascara, 40% off"

Competitors' private label price promotions

My add stated Buy (2) at 5.99 and get (1) Free.

Which they have to honor because the price is stated.

My keurig machine is on the fritz again. I had discovered.... quite by accident.... that the pump will work immediately after the machine is turned on if it's been off for a while. So after my coffee yesterday I turned it off. And then I turned it back on again this morning. But while it was heating up I decided to take the folded laundry upstairs and put it away. And then I decided to change the sheets on the bed so I took them off and brought them back downstairs. I guess that was too long a time because then I tried to brew my coffee and it took forever..... and then it turned off after only 1/3 of a cup. So then I had to reset it and press brew again. It was running really slowly..... trickling really.... that I had time to put the bed linens in the washing machine and turn that on. I decided to use the warm/cold setting. At first I had it on the hot/cold setting because it was white sheets, but then I remembered I also put the mattress protector in there, and you can't use hot water with that, so I reset it to warm/cold. Luckily, I hadn't turned it on yet so that was no problem. So then I went back to my coffee and it had stopped at 2/3 full! Whoa. That was too exciting. So then I had to reset it but I set it at 4 oz and then I had to watch it carefully.... just in case it started to work properly.... so it didn't overflow because I didn't want the full 4 oz. Once it got to the proper height on my cup I took another cup and quickly switched out so I wouldn't have watery or over-flowy coffee. That took forever and now I have no time left to look at VJ.
