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!
