It's the American way, of course. Wal-mart will win the day. I just hope nobody is expecting Wal-mart to STAY the cheapest when it's the only store left in town.

I just don't get the appeal of the WalMart "Superstores". I went in the new one closest to here soon after it opened. Why would anyone want to buy personal items they'll be wearing when the person in front of them is piling stuff like onions on the checkout counter?

Isn't there the danger of bugs and other stuff getting on other merchandise in the store, from the fresh foods? Yuck.

Most people wash their new underwear before making it. After all, it could be sneezed on etc by the garment worker, packaging, retail staff, or consumers.

There isnt a supercenter walmart in my part of the world but there is a plain ole walmart about 8 miles down the road.And im almost afraid to admit it but yikes ! i do shop there once a month to save a few sheckels on my laundry soap and toothpaste.
im going this afternoon to get the kids there holloweenie costumes. i see no need to drive 15 miles outa my way when wally world is much closer to me.
on the other hand i dont buy any of our clothing there nor would i probably buy food stuffs from wally world. and the store i go isnt crammed with people like at a swapmeet but then again i live in a rural area.
i like wally world for some things and i like my winco for food shopping. i guess im a penny pinching tight wad but i try to get as much as i can out a dollar.
