And shop in your jammies! I love to have a cup of coffee while "surfing" and placing my orders. I save more $$ shopping online than I ever did actually physically going to the stores.

It looks like you have to "create a free account" to even look around. I can't find any other way in. Is that right?

I can't remember if I had to create an account first or not. But all you have to do is make a username and password. You don't have to give any financial info until you check out (if you purchase anything). But it's a very reputable site with great customer service. I love it and they have some great stuff.

The BEST thing about Wal-Mart...I can do the above & go shopping at 1 a.m. Then half the problem doesn't exist...all the little kids, the women & men with too much perfume, sweat, stale smoke & colone are either in bed or working.

Get a cart & do wheelies...security won't even care.

I tried the 1 am walmart shoppimg before about 6 years ago and it was as if it was 1pm. What are you doing with little 7&8 year olds out. I try early mornings to try and avoid email picture types.

Our nearest WalMart is only open from 7am to midnight.
I go around 8am and it is deserted. Very pleasant.

The Super WalMart however, North of us, is a 20 min trip each way, and 24 hrs.

I've noticed that the Super WalMarts tend to have the more eccentric patrons, compared to our typical WalMart near me.
And they are FAR busier too.

I hit the jackpot!! I found an online grocery delivery service and I just placed my first order! http://www.atlantahomedelivery.com/index.html

I called them and found out where they shop (Kroger) and if they will look for things that aren't listed on their website. Very nice people and I was told to just list what it is I want in the comments section and they'll find it.

Yes, they're more expensive than you'd pay if you went to the store yourself but it's worth it to me not to have to worry about going.

Just $12.99 for delivery next day! Anything you'd buy at Kroger they will deliver to your home. No minimum order, either. I hope they stay in business!
