Ok, maybe my life is different. But I'm not camping. I'm living in a home with our possessions just like all of you.

I haven't gone to Walmart's or any Walmart's-like store in last few years. I think I went to a dollar store 12 months ago to buy some wrapping paper and a cheap plastic spray bottle (for an art course I was taking).

We buy all our toiletries and cleaning supplies from drug store chains or grocery store nearby. Wrapping paper and cards here and there from independent stores or dollar stores.

I'm afraid we have no more room to accommodate more stuff.

Clearly, I'm missing something here in the consumer trend.

I'm not sure where the closest Walmart store is to us. And we've been living in Vancouver for past 7 yrs.!
