There are lots of things we buy from Walmart, and other things we will not buy there. Some clothes for knock around or work, household items, brand name things that are more expensive elsewhere. We won’t buy meats or vegetables there since we don’t know where it comes from or how it was handled. Tools, power equip, we buy elsewhere also. A good winter coat or suit, or a better quality article of clothing elsewhere too. Walmarts have their place for cheaper low end items.

“We won’t buy meats or vegetables there since we don’t know where it comes from or how it was handled.”

We do most of our shopping at Walmart. Ours in eastern TN has fresher vegetables than the chains Kroger and Food City. I wash all veggies with Dawn, anyhow, no matter where they come from.

The meat comes from local farmers (we’ve been told), and always has been good. Have returned meat to Kroger because it had “turned”.

Regular groceries are less expensive than the same item elsewhere.

We’ve had the best quality of eyeglasses from their vision department. My favorite frames costed $9 ten years ago, and I am wearing them now. The progressive prescription is perfect every time. Before that, I paid $700 to my ophthalmologist for frames and lenses, and wore them less than a month; they were terrible!

They used to have an outstanding fabric department, but now it’s a pitiful aisle of pre-cut, pre-packaged pieces of crap. (I wish Trump would bring back the textile industry to the USA.)

Knock-around clothes, as you say. Undies, nightgowns. My Motorola cell phone for Verizon I bought and had set up at Walmart electronics department, and it’s the best I’ve had since BlackBerry.

Anyhow, we’re regulars there. Too bad Nicole has butt hurt about it. I suppose she can “smell” Walmart shoppers like Strzok and Page can.

What a bitch.
