My local grocer, Calandro’s, stopped carrying them after they were recalled in November of last year, so I have to make the trek out to my local Port Allen Wal-Mart to buy these wonderful gifts from the folks at General Mills.

Well, Jennie was there about a month ago (incidentally, around the time food stamps are disbursed by the state), and went to the frozen food aisle to find absolutely not a single Tostino’s Totino’s Pepperoni pizza left. Sure, they had plenty of Hamburger (disgusting), Sausage (equally disgusting), Cheese (boring), and Classic Pepperoni (if I wanted real pepperoni, I would pay $5 for a pizza) left. She picked up a $5 Red Baron pizza and headed to the check-out counter.

She gets up to checkout counter, and gets behind a rather large woman, with an obese child in the buggy, paying with a Louisiana Purchase card… and she has anywhere from 50-75 Tostino’s Totino’s Pepperoni Pizzas in the cart!! She took every single pizza!!!

And ever since that day, there has not been a single Tostino’s Totino’s Pepperoni pizza in the freezer when we go to Wal-Mart. I’m thinking about just sticking a self made sign there that says “LIMIT ONE PER CUSTOMER,” since Wally World seems content about not doing anything about it.
