I know people have the right to buy cheap goods, but what are they gaining in the long run by saving a quarter on a bag of chips or a couple of dollars on a shirt or whatever?

I'll answer that question -- A quarter on the chips and a couple of dollars on the whatever.

I made an annual trip to Wal-Mart on 11-21. I spent $165. I figure I saved at least $130 compared to the local stores. I drove 34 miles one way. Spent about $12 in gas. I'm still ahead of the game. With a limited income, I have to spend wisely. For non-perishable items, Wal-Mart saves me money and renews my info about the price differences.
