I hate Walmart (Page 7): How's that? A company offers a good product at a fair price, or they don't.

MY folks did the same thing, they went through 2 RV's and 3 trailers, our roads in America beat the shit out of them. Dad would call when they would be relocating to a new fishing spot.

I loathe Walmart, but it is the only place I can afford to shop. My ice cream alone is $2 cheaper than the "box N bag" grocery store. I only buy bulk nuts at that store.

However, hygeine and grocery is pretty much all I do buy at WallyWorld. The "outer limits" of their stores.

I wish I could say, "I've never set foot in a WalMart." But I can't. They take my $$$ every month at an average of $150 +/- (about $70 of that is for CocaCola alone, my "coffee" thus comment section "closed")!!! Anywhere else would cost me closer to $200+. I usually splurge once per month on "2 for Tuesday" Pacific Veggie w/garlic sauce pizzas at Dominos Pizza. That's about it for my spending habits. Oh, I do buy my 2 supplements elsewhere, but only every other to couple of months.

I loathe Walmart, but tis the only place I can afford to shop.

No intending to be critical but:
"I wish I could say, "I've never set foot in a WalMart." But I can't. They take my $$$ every month at an average of $150 +/- (about $70 of that is for CocaCola alone, "

I wish I could hear you say "I will never drink another CocaCola", You'd $70.00 ahead right there.You might look at the pizza too.
how about some real meat/potatoes/veggies?
None of my business of course but I'd have a problem blaming WallyWorld for the $150+or- you spend there.

you said yourself that you shop there because you can afford it
evidently what you buy is eatable
and inspite of the comments here lotsa folks go there because it SAVES them money
I for one buy my groceries at Krogers
very little higher and seemingly better products -

Well its a regional thing, gotta like birchbark and sticks and pinecones. Its a good niche. I was able to work home while my kids were young. Its a steady source of income in an area where the only people with money are the tourists and I get to call myself an artist. Though the term is loosely applied in my case. I should be called Into the Woods, as that is where I spend most of my time, which is nice.

I would do the same, but the nearest Krogers is a long way to go. Especially carrying groceries. The Walmart is walking distance.

If you have an Aldi close by, they are even better yet.

As I stated, "comment section 'closed'" on the CocaCola issue, it's my "coffee"!!!

What else do you think the remaining $75+/- is spent on? As I stated, "Anywhere else would cost me" more $$$. And, I order my pizza once a month, "Pacific Veggie".

EDIT: I "loathe Walmart" because of what the store has grown to represent. If I could afford to shop elsewhere, I would.

In my neck of the woods we have a Woodmans grocery store and all of there food is low priced and the employees are owners in Woodmans. When my wife was alive and the only Woodmans was in Janesville Wisconsin we would go up about once a month and shop there. Now I have a store here in Rockford and I do most of my shopping there. I also shop at Sam's as well for their meat. I can buy a whole New York Strip loin for about 6.94 or 7.30 depending on the price of meat where ever they buy and then they cut it to whatever thickness I desire. I can then bring it home and vacuum pack each steak and freeze it and it is good for several years. Some food at Woodmans is bulk the same as Sam's is. I don't know if pop is more reasonable at Sam's or not. The only draw back to Sam's is the yearly fee but my daughter is on my membership and she uses Sam's fairly often and enjoys it. If you don't have a Sam's you could look into Costco as I have had a membership there at one time but then I have to drive to Chicago to use it so not much savings there.

There is a Costco and a Sam's Club in the KC Metro area. I don't have a car and it is a good 70+ mile round trip journey. I only cook for me, and not much of that kind of "cooking" happens at my house. It's a long story and I simply no longer have the will.

If you know someone how shops there you can maybe set up a car pool with them and maybe go every fourth week with them to shop or something like that just a thought is all.

My Sams delivers....don't know the radius as I'm only a couple miles from mine.....worth a looky, it may even be free.

Nope, I am not among that class of people. I am among the "left behind" class, which means the bus/taxi or on foot. I do have a "case manager" who gets me to my "stores" once or twice a month and I am most grateful.
