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

68. oh boy a wallmart thread!

I despise them and try to avoid shopping there. I agree people should not criticize as it is often the only option left in dying small towns. I am a cheapskate and have the time to do comparison shopping for my usual groceries. I have access to a local independant, two safeways and a walmart in the two nearest towns. walmart is the place I usually get cheap tea, creamer, sugar, salt, saltine crackers and bulk mayo. also their potatoes are sometimes cheaper as is occasionally butter.

their meat, other dairy, and most produce is either higher or much lower quality than safeway. the local independant is always better for Mexican type goods, produce, occasionally cheese and chicken.

The "plus" of walmart is time savings because what you need is there when you need to get some shoes and underwear along with a few grocery items and you don't have the luxury of hitting multiple stops before you have to get home to cook and tend a family or house after working some shit job all day.

I avoid walmart when I can, because they do suck, and a lot of their merchandise is shitty too, but when you are far from other options they do tend to bridge the gap of doing without or waiting until the next trip to the big city.
