Celebrating #Walmart20th Anniversary!

walmart-logo1_zpsae312db8

Did you know?  It’s Walmart’s 20th Anniversary!  For the past 20 years, Walmart has been helping Canadians save money and live better (hey, their logo really does speak the truth!) and this certainly is the case for our family.

I remember it being a huge event when Walmart stores opened in Saskatchewan.  I had been spoiled living in Regina with easy access to a Walmart after that, and then it became a much bigger deal when Walmart came to my smaller hometown.  Now, Supercentres are what Canadians are getting excited about as they are popping up in communities and old stores are being converted to include them as well.

Walmart truly has become a one-stop shop for our family because you simply can’t beat the prices and convenience.  I can’t state how crucial getting everything in one spot is during a blustery Saskatchewan winter when I don’t want to even venture out of my front door, much less make a half a dozen stops.  With Walmart, I can be in and out before  my car turns into an ice block in January and certainly before my ice cream and popcicles have time to melt in my cart in July.

To celebrate their anniversary, I have a fabulous flash giveaway for my readers.  Ready to shop?  Someone is going to win a $100 Walmart gift card!  Woohoo!
