Rode to Wally World for supplies. 🚲

4½ miles each way, five degrees. Snowing fairly hard by the time I got home. With the cold and because I had no reason to go to Walmart, I was going to go to Price Chopper in Slingerlands but my electric toothbrush stopped working and I wanted to get are replacement as I think it does a better job then a manual toothbrush.

Truth is Market32 aka Price Chopper in Slingerlands really annoys me, both the store itself and the rich people who shop there. It has a nice produce section but I really don’t need 394 different brands of Organic Woke Brand Choco Puffs with Added Protein for $15.99. One thing I like is how they have oatmeal packaged in a lightweight plastic bag rather then the big cardboard tube it comes in at Walmart. Easier to carry and less trash, which I’m so careful about these days without having a truck or regular fires.

My fingers were so numb when I got there but the way back didn’t seem that cold. I could barely move my fingers when I got to Walmart until they warmed up. And they hurt for a while. The roads were fine both ways, though on the way home they were starting to get a bit greasy and snow covered. Took Bender Lane to Walmart, and while you’re not supposed to make a left turn there with a car, I did sneak around the median with my bike. I do like the one stop shopping and low prices of Walmart, but I do always end up spending more then I should there because of the psychological tricks they use there. Price Chopper just seem really over priced so I normally are loathe to buy that “one extra” thing, you know how that goes.

Going shopping wasn’t essential today, but I mostly wanted carrots to use in my pancakes and other meals, like bread, soups,
