Not exactly a frugal day

[disneysteve]

And, Disneysteve, you spent money you had on things you wanted and Wal-Mart used it's hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising bucks to it's advantage...they are masters in marketing!

Honestly, nothing we bought was really an impulse purchase as they were all things we either specifically went there to get or things that were on our "whenever" shopping list. We've looked for the bike rack at 3 other stores but hadn't found one we liked at a good price. And we've looked for the Wii Fit at other stores but nobody had one.

I agree that Walmart has great marketing, but in this particular case, it was more a matter of them simply having in stock the items we wanted.
