I went to Wally for groceries today. It didn't even have half of what I wanted. If grocery stores want to compete, maybe they should carry what Wally won't. I'm not going to stand in line for fifteen minutes, which I did today, to save less than five bucks, especially when I've got to go somewhere else to finish my shopping.

It all depends on how important it is for you to save money.... you have to comparision shop for the best prices.

Brand name Triscuits cost $3.59 at Shop Rite. I get them for $2.99 at Walmart. I pay $1.89 for V8 Splashers at Walmart that cost more than $3.00 elsewhere.

In total I save AT LEAST $40.00/month shopping at Wal-MArt.

If $40/month is nothing to you, then by all means send it to me :)

I was buying our favorite chili at Kroger's for $1.40 a can. It is 79 cents at Walmart. Alouette cheese dip is $5.40 at Kroger, and $3.50 at Walmart.

We do the same thing, choose those products that we use a lot and stock up at WM. With 4 kids, it is a significant savings.

7 miles east of me is a WalMart. Within 3 miles of me both East and west is a Home Depot. within a half mile is a Lowes.

Within 2 miles of me is Lakeside Shopping Center with all the upscale clothing stores I can only hope to afford. Within 3 miles of me is a Target, a Mervyns, a Meyers, a Big Kmart, a Farmer Jacks, a Kroger and a produce superstore called Nino Salvaggios............

How they all manage to stay in business I can only guess but the bottom line is that they are all competing for my dollar$$$.........and thats a good thing!
