I avoid WM, it’s just an unpleasant shopping experience. And their way low prices are often achieved by sacrificing quality.
I agree, it’s an extremely unpleasant experience. And you’re right, they sacrifice quality on “their stuff”. The way I get around that, is that I never get their stuff. I’ll only pick up a couple of items here or there, which is “name-brand” and that I know is quality, in and of itself, from another manufacturer. And the fact that it is SEALED is important, too, considering the kind of people who work there.
You can just get their loss-leaders and take Walmart’s money that way, on name-brand stuff — and NEVER EVER buy a grocery cart of stuff from Walmart “just because you’re there”. I would never reward Walmart that way.
