It's a rare person who has any business criticizing anyone for shopping at Walmart

38. I'd rather do with less stuff at a higher price

at a reputable store, than in anyway support Walmart.

Additionally as for the buying any brand sold at Walmart... seems I've read that much of what is sold at Walmart by BrandX isn't the same quality as BrandX sold in other stores. Foodstuffs have more things like wood pulp filler, other stuff has cheap parts and the model numbers never are the same as in other stores.

Having never set foot in a Walmart I cannot say for sure, however I do know that, for example, in buying a stereo at Costco, I found what looked for all intents and purposes to be the one Consumer Reports recommended, but the model number had an extra letter, indicating that it was not the exact model. When I checked with the manufacturer before buying they told me that the letter was added because the model at Costco had been adjusted "slightly" to manage to fit Costco's low price requirements and that it should not be considered the same model as the one in CR.

Just saying, I can support a brand's higher quality goods sold at more considerate markets.
