Thanksgiving at Walmart!

Thursday, Thanksgiving evening to Black Friday we slept over at the Walmart in Crawfordville, FL. A unique experience. Add it to your bucket list!

Many Walmarts allow free overnight parking for RVs and trucks.  Which brought us to the Walmart in Crawfordville, FL, Thanksgiving evening. That particular Walmart actually is not one of the Walmarts that allows overnight parking (it used to) but we figured we wouldn’t be asked to leave that particular night, and we weren’t.

Here are the highlights:

It was hard to find a parking space.

Entertainment was provided - Around 6pm, we attended the “Post Thanksgiving Dinner / Pre Black Friday” shopping extravaganza. TV’s were on sale and selling like hotcakes! Crowd management was a work of art. Cart flow was restricted with Disney style lines at the checkout. There were five police cars outside and cops all over the store inside, but fortunately (or maybe because of the police presence,) no riots broke out. 

We managed to bag a USB-C cable ($3!), a half gallon of milk, a carton of Graeter's mint chocolate chip ice cream, and a box of Wheat Chex. Maybe also some bananas. 

Total cost - $10.71 
The experience - Priceless.

The parking lot was much less crowded the next morning.
