What’s in Your Buggy? Moulton’s Top Walmart Buys Revealed
We asked a simple question — “What do y’all think is the most purchased item at Walmart Moulton?” — and the floodgates opened. Hundreds of comments poured in, painting a hilarious, chaotic, and oddly accurate picture of what fills our local buggies.
#5 – Toilet Paper 🧻
Ah yes, the pandemic-era MVP. Several folks called it out, and let’s be honest — even when shelves are stocked, there’s still a tiny voice in your head that says, “You better grab a pack.” TP is one of those staples that never goes out of style. Whether you're team 2-ply or living luxuriously with the quilted kind, it's a cart essential — and judging by how often it was mentioned, Moulton takes no chances.
#4 – Bread 🍞
Basic? Maybe. Beloved? Definitely. From sandwich loaves to honey wheat, bread made its way into a lot of y’all’s guesses — especially when paired with milk during snow flurry season (because tradition). The average American eats about 53 pounds of bread per year, and based on these comments, it sounds like Moulton’s doing its part to keep that stat high.
#3 – Bananas 🍌 (aka 4011s)
Several folks dropped “bananas,” but shoutout to Matt Escue for hitting us with the inside code: 4011 — the PLU number for your standard yellow banana at basically every grocery store. In fact, bananas are one of the top-selling grocery items in America, and with all the potassium, fiber, and natural sugar packed in, it’s no surprise they made Moulton’s top 3.
#2 – Water 💧
Whether it’s bottles, jugs, or cases, y’all are hauling home H2O by the buggy-load. Some blamed it on Moulton’s tap water (“disgusting” got tossed around more than once), others just stock up out of habit. Americans buy over 15 billion gallons of bottled water a year, and clearly, we’re doing our part to stay hydrated — or at least avoid whatever comes out of the faucet.
Honorable Mentions
And then there were the other answers — the ones that had us wheezing. Someone boldly declared “Fixodent,” another said “chewing tobacco” like it was the backbone of the local economy, and one poor soul offered up “interest rates on credit cards.” (Sir, are you okay?) “Friends” made the list, which is oddly sweet, while “MEDS” felt a little too real. Oh — and we can’t forget the legend who said, “Damn sure ain’t deodorant.” Bless it. If nothing else, Moulton folks keep it entertaining.
#1 – Milk 🥛
The undisputed champ of the Moulton Walmart: milk. Whether it’s regular, chocolate, whole, skim, or Purity brand (which got its own shoutout), milk took the crown. It’s not just for cereal and cookies either — milk is a snowstorm panic essential, a go-to for babies, and apparently a fan favorite for most families around here. Fun fact: the average American drinks over 17 gallons of milk per year… and Moulton might just be pulling that average up.
So, what does this grocery gossip tell us? That Moulton folks love their staples — the kind of things that fill bellies, stock pantries, and spark a little humor in the checkout line. Whether you're grabbing a jug of milk, dodging the last bunch of bananas, or cussing under your breath because there’s still no Diet Sundrop, we all share one thing in common: we’re just trying to make it through Walmart with a buggy full and a little bit of sanity left.
