Awesome post. I am also in Sherwood Park. Everything is so expensive here. Thank goodness for WM PMing across Canada. And Maybe I will run into you there some day and we can have a coffee!

Peachy1: do you live in alberta? I just googled sherwood park and it says alberta.... Did you say your walmart pm across CANADA? Mine does not. I live in west too but still my walmart refused to pm across canada.

I should explain something first, i was in a bad car accident a few years ago and well lets put it this way, i cant work. So i started couponing to save my tail and the household budget. I was in Walmart yesturday, going for my daily couponing walk thru. ( gets me on my feet you know) and as i was wandering aimlessly, i noted a young lady with a little girl of about 5 years old, desparately poking thru her couponing folder ( it was tiny, reminded me of when i got started). She could not find a coupon for the product she was trying to buy. I stopped with my big brief of coupons and asked if i could help her, perhaps i had the coupon she was looking for? She thanked me and said she was new to couponing, and described to me why . out of necessity she couponed for her family. I began stacking up coupons out of my collection that i had way to many of, and in the end filled her little folder up. She asked me if i minded giving her my number and of course i had not issue with that, and squeeled then jumped around her cart and HUGGED me. In a day when so many people have given up on humanity, i had to share this with all of you, its been years since a perfect stranger gave me a hug, and lets face it a hug goes a long way. So i would like to say thank you to the lovely girl in Sherwood park that hugged me and i am happy i could help. You made my day miss TY

that was such a nice and heart warming brag.

Thank you all for the kind words, its not really a BRAG i guess but was unsure where to post it. When the world hands you lemons, or as i like to say " when God forgets you are stuck to the bubblegum under his shoe" you have to find butterflies and rainbows where you can, its the simple things in life that make us warm up inside. So next time the walmart clerk refuses your pm or you are told you have to many bars of soap in your cart, please try to remember this. Humanity .......the final frontier.

What a beautiful gesture. You just made my day.

Also, my son recently relocated from Ontario to Sherwood park and he has said nothing but wonderful things about the people there.
