i remember when i was back in california, walmart was a place i would have been embarrassed to be seen in. i think the only times i ever went there was with eric on weekends to get random fishing and other cheap stuff.

here in north texas, walmart doesn’t have the same stigma, and it really is the cheapest place to get just about everything. i had bought 2 new rear tires from tirerack.com for my s2000, and had to get them installed. i called NTB: $65 for install/balance. discount tire: $51. pepboys: $42. walmart? 14 freaking dollars. they’ve got the same mounting and balancing machine at the other places and do the same job for a fraction of the price. they also didn’t require an appointment, i was in an out in about 15 minutes, and got to buy other cheap stuff at walmart while i was waiting.

save money. live better.
