My local Country Mart has better prices than the local walmart. It also has more USA products. Additional plus - the distribution center is from my state (Missouri)hereas Walmart is from Arkansas.
When I do go to Walmart, I try to avoid anything made in China. They have never had enough people to help. They also have strange distribution schedules.
For example, we have a small coffee pot. They only get shipments of the small filters in just before Christmas. When those run out, they don’t get anymore until October or November.
I used to think Walmart was great. Since Sam died and they became so hooked up with China, I try to avoid them as much as possible.
I only shop the Walmart grocery stores. I have several that are closer to my home then the supercenters. Are you in the KC area? If so, where is the country mart you go to?
