The fact of the matter is, sometimes you need cheap crap, and no one sells more cheap crap than Walmart.
And if I can kill two birds with one stone and pick up the needed cheap crap and a few other things all at the same time, then i’ll brave the hordes of mouth breathers.
“...sometimes you need cheap crap...”
When you see name brand mdse at Home Depot for $x and find it at Walmart for 1/6th the Home Depot price, I call that smart shopping, not cheap crap.
I shop Wally World, whenever I can screw up the courage.
One of the things that bothers me most though, is why so many shoppers there cannot understand that it is possible to place your shopping cart, and park your fat a** while you shop, without blocking the aisle.
Why am I saying “ Excuse me” because my fellow shopper is an inconsiderate jerk? Aldis: same thing.
Meiers seems to attract the brightest shoppers.
I remember a study which suggested that when Walmart came into a town it was like giving everyone in the town a 10% raise.
Looking at their prices, I believe it. And, the competition keeps other store prices down. I may choose to go into a competitor down the street to avoid the crowds, but I know that the prices I pay there reflect the intense competition from Walmart.
