1. KKKKKKKKKKKKKKK-RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

mmmm

2. Oddly though, Walmart isn't really that cheap except on some items.

Their food prices aren't all that great, although they do seem to have a lot more convenience food than other grocery stores. Perhaps that is where the difference is since I usually prepare food rather than rely on convenience foods (hot pockets, dinner in a bag, etc).

3. Of course. They have no competition!

4. You're right, they aren't so cheap anymore.

I shopped at Wal-Mart for the last time several days ago. I always felt guilty for shopping there, and I'd mostly cut it out, but I was forced to the other day. It's a long story I won't go into, but they pissed me off royally that day and I made a vow that I'd never buy a fucking thing in a Wal-Mart ever again.

Shopping there doesn't save money, it's a time-saver more than anything else because you can pick up your groceries and lots of other things at the same time. But I actually save money when I buy groceries at the grocery store and go to the dollar store or other specialty store for the rest of my items. So from now on I'll save money and I won't contribute to that horrible company anymore.

7. Walmart tried to put the HEB grocery stores here in Texas out of business with their Super Walmarts.

HEB came back with HEB Plus and their line of gourmet and deli foods and department store items. Here in our town, HEB is more popular than the Super Walmart. I used to like HEB. Right-wingers boycotted them at one time for their support of Planned Parenthood and their CEO supported liberal causes. Then, he went to the dark side and started hedging his bets, donating to both Democrats and Republicans.

14. Even a regular HEB...

has a better selection than Walmart. And, not a bunch of Chinese sourced food.

15. HEB's meat department is a whole lot better.

I'm not much of a carnivore, but my family is and Walmart isn't into selling organic meat, lean cuts or quality meat, period. They have no fresh seafood section to speak of and I really prefer HEB's fresh produce to Walmart's. Like their meat department, Walmart's produce isn't big on organic or variety.

13. Sure they are

The vast majority of household staples that I purchase each month are less expensive at Walmart. I've done my research.

They push crap (but it's the same crap as everywhere else), and they need to pay their employees a living wage, but they are definitely cheap.

[noiretextatique]

16. I did a lot of comparison shopping...and Walmart is not cheaper

than Safeway or Trader Joe's, at least not in my area. Both if the Walmarts near me are in poorer areas with limited food shopping options.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

5. I remember when we boycotted Target for being the first non-union shop of it's kind.

[zentrum]

6. Except it's not true.

They don't make enough to in fact shop at Walmart.

That's why Walmart's sales are down.

Toon makes it seem like when Walmart comes to town, everything evens out in the end. Far from it.

8. "Do you get food stamps, Harry?"

"Yes, and they help, but Republicans insist on cutting them. I'm starting to acquire a taste for cat food."

[Jeffersons Ghost]

9. Most items sold in Wall Mart are manufactured in China

[rhett o rick]

10. And Sam Walton is rolling in his grave. He shouldnt have left his kids anything.

Inherited wealth is the root of all evil.

[demwing]

11. Most household items sold in America

are manufactured in Asia

[Wounded Bear]

12. "Welcome to Wal-Mart....

Now get your shit and get out!"
