I shopped at Walmart for the first time two weeks ago. I couldn't believe how well we did. I thought we'd spent about $200 but it was only $135, it was just like the darned ad!
I can't wait to go back, and the hell with any who don't like it.
This happens to me every week, I fill up a grocery cart or two, and expect to write a check for two or three hundred dollars, and what do you know, it is under 150 - and I mean I buy everything, food, paper stuff, school supplies, underwear, a toy or two, and perhaps a few household things, and still, I am ALWAYS surprised by the price I have to pay. Always really low.
I am a confirmed super wal mart customer. The wal mart I do know I love, and the supposed wal mart I dont know in the article.....well, let the free market decide where those companies will go and who will work for them. Americans are resourceful. Every day a couple thousand new businesses could pop up and the law of supply and demand kick in.
The underlying theme of this joker's piece is that big bad wal mart MUST be regulated and price controlled and MANAGED by some all knowing sage who will make things FAIR - just a bunch of socialistic poppycock.
As a weekly shopper, I will always drive the distance and make the effort to go to wal mart and sams club because I as the consumer WIN!
