the stores with groceries are too big...the prices aren’t significantly cheaper...I hate their system of checkouts...
sometimes the dollar store will get you better buys....the other thing is, Goodwill and garage sales and craigslist....if one can buy what one needs...like a tool, or a shelf, or canning jars, etc at Goodwill or the garage sales or off craigslist...at cheaper prices, why shouldn’t they?
I agree. I ask myself if it is worth a $2 dollar savings to go to Walmart and the answer is most often no.
We switched to Walgreens for prescriptions because it is a nightmare to get one at Walmart.
Wally World is downsizing and creating smaller stores with an emphasis on groceries.
They’ve just opened two in my area similar to the one in the article:

I avoided Wal-Mart mainly for one reason, shopping even for a few items is a real pain in the @$$. Items are illogically placed around for one thing, another are how items are constantly moved around. Lastly to buy even a single item is a real pain. Have to wait in long lines and sometimes lines are closed, therefore you have to find another long line to wait in. Homey won’t play games to shop there, instead, a smaller business will get my business and appreciation.
