(58,785 posts)As for prices, they're often not as cheap as they seem. Husband retired without a pension, so we do some careful shopping there. Careful.
Drain a can of their store tuna brand and turn it into a measuring cup, do the same with standard brands sold at other chain markets, and check what you've purchased. You get a lot less fish, more liquid and more "fish sludge," so that the real price is about the same or more, but not less. (And at that the standard brands are doing the same thing, just not as bad. I now buy expensive brands that are solidly packed with better quality solid tuna and cost the same or less than the cheap stuff.) Canned beans similarly with gushy beans, instead of firm, too much liquid, and the bottom of the can often full of bean sludge.
I haven't tried almost all of their "deli" and "bakery" items because what I did try was really bad. The potato salad I purchased in a hurry was very high in gooshy liquid filler and with definite chemical taste, by far the worst I'd ever come across. I tried again a year or so later at another WalMart, largely out of curiosity as a test but also not wanting to cook, and threw it away. Too bad to try to dress up.
