WALMART FREE: For two months now, yeah!!
It has been kinda hard for me to become Walmart free, but I finally did it...YEAH!!

Its been two months now and its getting easier not harder...I think getting over the instant gratification, 24 hour convenience was the hardest thing...but am happy that I have, YEAH!!

1. Six months here
except I gave $ to a friend who belongs to Sam's Club to get me one of their phone cards - does that count?

4. Their phone cards are an amazingly good deal. 3.47cents a minute.
(and only 7.94 cents per minute to England, 11.41 to Ireland, etc) I bought some back before I started avoiding WalMart/sam's.

The good news is that you can recharge the cards over the phone, and charge it to a credit card, thereby avoiding shopping at Sam's

2. I'm lucky
the Wal-mart is about a 20 minute drive in another town, and It's been a few months. The last thing i got htere was some bookshelves (the cheap put them together particle-board kind)

5. Nice!
I've been avoiding Wal-Mart for some time now -- but I've only been doing it strictly as a matter of principle for about a year. It does get a lot easier after a few weeks, and I've found that there are several other stores that do as well as Wal-Mart in what Wal-Mart supposedly does "well" without the necessariy sacrifice of your integrity that comes with shopping at Satan's Place.

Edit: couldn't stand the place even before I found out about their disgusting practices.

9. Congratulations!
Note: If you absolutely need that warehouse jammed full of goods mentality, shop at Costco.

According to opensecrets.org, they give 100% of their political contributions to the Democratic Party.

10. Good for you!
Boycotting WalMart is a service to your country and all humanity.
