Walmart’s Great Gas Rollback

Walmart has long been famous for it’s “Rollback” mantra, but this summer they are really putting their money where their mouth is and rolling back prices on gasoline!  I’m not sure how the budget is looking in your house, but the cost of filling up my SUV (yes, go ahead and throw tomatoes at me for driving an SUV, I’m used to it) makes a trip to the gas station an $80 trip, at minimum.

Do you know how many pairs of shoes I could buy with that?!

Walmart has struck up a limited time partnership with Murphy USA to make summer travel more affordable!  Per Walmart, folks in the following states can take advantage of the Rollback:

Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia) – Our Great Gas Rollback will take 10 cents off every gallon when you fill up at over 800 participating Murphy USA and Walmart Gas stations at your local Walmart using your Walmart Credit Card, Walmart MoneyCard or a Walmart Gift Card.  Not valid in all areas.

And for those of you in Florida and Alabama you will receive a 10 cent credit on every gallon when you fill up at participating Murphy USA and Walmart Gas stations at your local Walmart using your Walmart Credit Card.  Awesome, right?

Walmart Pharmacy Wants Your Feedback!

Do you ever wish that you could give major companies feedback on you feel they are doing well, or not so well? Maybe you have an idea, a suggestion that you are SURE if they just heard you, would make life easier for everyone involved?

Well, Walmart wants to listen. As a matter of fact, they want your feedback on your in-store Pharmacy experience. If you aren’t currently using the Walmart Pharmacy, you might want to call and check the prices of your regular prescriptions – when I moved mine I started saving almost $100 a month. And in all honesty – Walmart didn’t ask me to say that, they just asked me to post the link to the survey – the fact that I’m saving that much money is just simply the truth.

Ok, so here goes. Take the Walmart Pharmacy Survey and share your feedback on everything from wait times, the cost of your prescriptions, and the way you most often refill your RX. Next time you’re in store, who knows – you might see some of your thoughts and ideas being put in to practice!

Wisk: Helping Moms Fight Stains For Decades

I spend a lot of time here on Chic Shopper Chick talking about fashion, clothing, shopping, and style.  Fashion has been something that has held my interest for a long time, and this blog has naturally progressed in the direction of giving fashion tips, tricks, and suggestions.  However, it recently occurred to me that for all of the time I spend talking about BUYING clothes, I don’t spend a lot of time, if any, talking about the challenges of caring for your clothing after the initial purchase.

Let’s face it, in an ideal world I would be able to just ditch my dirty clothes to buy brand new ones.  Seeing as how I’ve chosen writing as a career path, I’m quite sure that won’t be happening any time soon.  Clothing is an investment, and I count on being able to wear each piece at least ten times, possibly as many as thirty or forty if it’s a staple item.   That means that after the first wear, I have to figure out a way to care for my clothes in such a way that keeps them looking new while lifting stains and odors from the fabric.  A peek into my closet proves that I’ve somewhat mastered the process (though I still have the occasional casualty):

Of course, becoming a mom flipped my perception yet again because my daughter is hard on her clothing.  She loves to play in the mud puddles that appear after a rainstorm, roll around in the grass, and finger paint.  She steals pieces of chocolate from what I thought was my hidden stash, and wipes her chocolate-covered hands  all over her dress.  Sometimes we have upwards of three clothing changes a day, and my washing machine can be heard swishing away at all hours of the day and night.

This month, Wisk is rising to the challenge of parents everywhere when they release a new laundry detergent with their innovative Stain Spectrum™ Technology, which will combat a full range of stains from proteins to oils.  Check out the teaser commercial below (and the sexy new red bottle!):

Of course, Wisk isn’t new to the stain-game – they’ve been helping moms tackle stains since the 1970′s.  While a lot has changed since the 70′s, the day-to-day laundry challenges that we face remains eerily similar.  I’m sure that, back then, there was more than one mom who had a daughter that splashed in every mud puddle she could find, slid into first base, and expressed her love for art by getting more paint on her clothing than on the paper.  Of course, Wisk has come a long way as well – they started out tackling those stubborn collar rings,  and are now ready to help parents tackle even bigger jobs.  For a giggle, check out Wisk’s classic “Ring Around The Collar” commercial:

I haven’t gotten my hands on the new Wisk with Stain Spectrum™ Technology, but I’m hoping to test it out very soon.  I’ll keep you updated on my continuing education, but in the meantime keep your eyes peeled for that bright red bottle – you can’t miss it!

Confessions of a…?

I cracked up laughing when I saw this video over at Red Chair Confessions!  I know what it sorta sounds like she is confessing, but let’s face it – that is exactly why it isn’t at all what she is actually confessing!

My guess is that she loves to shop, or has purchased something amazing at an awesome “secret” sale and can’t stop herself from going back.  I’m telling you – from the looks of this chick, my guess is that she is a shopaholic!  (I love the belted coat and zebra print scarf!)

(What?  I notice those kinds of things!)

I mean, shopping makes me feel like a woman.  My confession?  I once had an “emergency” blue jean purchase on my mom’s credit card when I was in college.  They were on sale for one day ONLY, and if I didn’t buy them RIGHT THEN I would essentially be losing money!  Right?

Ahem.
So what do you think her “big” confession is?  I’m curious to hear your theories!  Share them in the comments below!
