The creation of my newest adversary

So tonight I was on my merry way to Wal-Mart with my $1/1 Reynold's baking cups in hand. I pulled out my list and purchased all the other things I needed first saving my most excitable purchase for last. I finally get to the baking isle and I see all the little baking cups, candles and squeezable frosting packages and my heart starts racing. As I get closer to the shelf I begin to scan each and every one of the different packages of baking cups. Cake Mate and store brand and some other junky not Reynold's brand but guess what.....to my amazement, NO REYNOLD'S. 

So I doomed and gloom to the register and paid for my items. I got home and my hubby decided he needed to send me to Wally World for something else. So I went back. But this time I went to a different one. I repeated my previous trip, check marking one item after another off of my list until I finally got to the bottom and I had the words Reynold's baking cups staring back at me. My stomach was in knots as I marched across the store weaving my cart in and out of isles, between clothing racks trying to get to the baking isle as quick as I could. Sometimes, you know, one Wal-Mart carries things that the other does not. I crossed my fingers that this would be one of those times.
I can see the cups, the candles, the squeezable frosting. I was in the right place. Now, time to scan. Up and down my eyes flew as fast as they possibly could and my heart started racing like I was checking numbers to the lottery and actually had the first couple matching. I saw all the similar brands of baking cups that I had seen at the other Wal-Mart and then there it was! A brand that I hadn't seen at the other store. Could this be it? Was this the Reynold's baking cups that I had been searching for all afternoon?

 Heavens no. It was the Wilton brand in a fancy design package so I would be tricked into thinking it wasn't them. Sneaky boogers. So needless to say, I did not find my Reynold's baking cups and for any of you that I mislead into thinking you would be able to find them at your local Wal-Mart,  you better broaden your range because LeMars as well as Sioux Center Wal-Mart do not carry Reynold's baking cups. It's a sad day. Hope you still find them somewhere and get a great deal with them though! :)
