Piggly Wiggly

[gibsi53]

Hi all!

Does anyone live near one of these supermarkets? I need 5 disposable plastic Piggly Wiggly bags by Christmas and there are none nearby and I don't think I'll be traveling near one.

I'm happy to reimburse for shipping!
Thanks!

Do you mean the regular old white plastic bags they put your stuff in ?

the ones that are the size of like Walmart ones for instance?

 

[gibsi53]

Yup! the plain old check out bags that say Piggly Wiggly! LOL

We don't have a Piggly Wiggly very close (one about an hour south) but you have my curiosity up---

why do you need disposable PW bags??

I want to know too . We don't have PW here so I can't help, sorry.

If you don't get any response here, maybe call one and ask them to send you some??

I have one in my town. What happens if they are orange, other wise I can get some for you. Give me a PM with your address and I will go to the store today.

Sorry had to take my DS to school. I thought the last time I was there they were white. I know that the Piggly Wiggly's here are all privately owned so they may have different color ones at each store. I don't shop there all the time but it is right down the road so if you PM me I can send you some next week (busy weekend) then if you get white or orange you can use whichever works best.

The OP HAD to know this would drive us all crazy with curiosity...

Piggly Wiggly bags as Christmas gifts? Wrappings?

Maybe she is Jeafl's mother in law and we will find out then?

I just texted my mom, and she said that she'll send them to you (she literally lives a stone's throw aka across the parking lot from a PW). PM me if no one offers to send them to you and I'll text her your address .

Everyone sing with me now (in honor of my DM, a retired music teacher):

"Piggly Wiggly Bumble Bee, will you sing your name to me..."

OK- no more suspense... sorry had to go to work!

My father is from the South and I have lived in NJ all my life. He loves Jeff Foxworthy and there's a skit, "The Clampetts go to Maui" that he made the whole family listen to before we went on our first cruise this summer.

I found the text and posted it below. So... to finally put an end to why... I'm getting my parents new luggage!

Jeff Foxworthy
I'll give you an idea of what kind of family mine is
This is a true story
About 9 or 10 months ago I did somethin I had always wanted to do
I cashed in all my frequent flyer miles
I took everybody in my family to Hawaii, 13 people
Thinkin this would be the vacation of a lifetime
It ended up bein the Clampetts go to Maui!

Cuz you get my family together and there is an empty K-mart somewhere!
They showed up at the airport they were usin coolers and grocery bags for luggage
The sky cap was like "which ones yours? the samsonite?"
They were like, "no we got the igloo with the duct tape on it and the 5 piggly wiggly bags right there!"

At the ticket counter I asked my mother, i said "mom would you like to sit next to the window?"
She goes "oh i better not, i just had my hair fixed."
And on the plane, the movie they were showin on the plane was Homeward Bound The Incredible Journey
5 minutes into this movie my brother turns to me and goes, "You know that ain't them dogs real voice!"
My sister got mad, "well thanks for spoilin it for everybody else!"

And we were stayin right on the beach, in fact the whales were migrating through
You could stand on the balcony and watch whales come up out of the water
First morning there, my brothers out there goin "man i wish i had a gun with a scope on it!"
"How much does it cost to mount a whale?! ANYBODY KNOW?!"
I'd have to get a bigger trailer i'll tell ya that!

And you could tell which rooms were ours
Ours were the ones with the underwear hangin off the rail!
According to the manager, the sight of the only peeing for distance contest they had ever had!
Which I am ashamed to say my Aunt Rose won in the second round!
We are a classy bunch!

My uncle Doug kept askin, "When we gonna convert our money to Hawaiin money?"
This is the same uncle Doug, we went to a luau and you know how they always ask people to volunteer to hula dance?
Ol' Doug volunteered.
Halfway through the dance we all realize Doug's not wearin any underwear underneath his hula skirt!
We asked him about it later and he goes, "well when i went to put my skirt on i noticed i had a hole in my drawers and I didnt wanna embarrass myself!"
Dang Doug, you thought this out!

And there's my family, I love em, they're good people...
They just dont get out much!
Mainly because of that "no shirt no shoes" rule

LUGGAGE?!?! lol, that is too funny!!!

 

[gibsi53]

Thanks! They're going to love it! Thanks so much!

 

[golfgal]

Too funny!!!!!

 

[sms]

they also have brown bags that would be cute too!

 

[dfchelbay]

Plastic bags were also used as luggage on an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. When the wife ripped his bag in half, he opened the kitchen drawer, grabbed another plastic bag and said, "Thanks to the good people at Walbaums, I have a complete set".

 

[worm761]

I love it!

 

[luvsJack]

Oh wow that is so funny!!!

And I agree with your dad, I love Jeff Foxworthy too!
