During Black Friday weekend, Wal-Mart had a sale on 30 piece Rubbermaid container sets at the cost of $6.88 + tax, which included the following (shown in the picture below):
I had come to the Wal-Mart in the "nicer" part of town and the store had TWO whole WALLS built of these things. I picked up one set for my mom late afternoon on the first day of the sale. Because there were plenty left, I didn't think to "have" to pick up any more, though I was sure that my mom's friends would want some too.
That night, my mom asked her friends and I was told to pick up 3 more sets of these things. Because the stores were filled with walls and walls of these, I figured it'd be okay to come back the following day. Boy, was I wrong! All of the stores in the surrounding area, within a 50 mile radius, AND online at walmart.com had sold out completely. DANG.
Seriously. The stores were filled with these and sold out within a day. Crazy. Then again, at that price, I wouldn't blame them; the 20-ish piece sets already sell for $10.00+.
I wasn't kidding when I said there were walls of these. Yes, I did stop and have my shopping buddy take a picture of the wall for me. I was decked out in my fuzzy hat (it was a chilly) and combat boots to battle my way through the crowd! :P
