3. My wife shops at Wal-Mart

I've heard her complain on more than one occasion that Wal-Mart is awful when it comes to re-stocking items that she buys on one trip but can't find on the next one. Come to think of it, I've noticed an increasing difficulty in finding various things there that I was for sure Wal-Mart stocked at one time. It's still pretty much the cheapest place to buy food that is acceptable to my wife (she refuses to shop at Aldi) and I don't believe we have a Costco anywhere nearby and we are still usually spending $400-450 bi-weekly on all of our groceries and household supplies.
