I like Wal-Mart, but their prices aren't always the lowest. I usually have to shop at three different stores to get the products I want.

I don't know about the rest of their merchandise but in groceries, if you produce a coupon or an ad showing the item cheaper somewhere else, Wal-Mart will match the price.

I had a lady ahead of me at a checkout counter who had a list of items and prices on notebook paper and the clerk accepted it and gave her the items at the cost listed on the paper. I asked the clerk why they would allow that and she told me it's better to lose a dollar or two on a sale than to lose a customer.

I also like Wal-Mart's return policy. You don't need any excuses or explanations, Wal-Mart will take it back and refund your money. They have such an upper hand over the manufacturers that they can demand them to take an item back or run the risk losing Wal-Mart's business for their product.

Wal-Mart bought big city shopping to small towns. If you lived in a small town 30 years ago, you paid a lot more for stuff than city folk did -- Wal Mart changed that.

I don't mind Walmart, but spend a lot more money at Target, because I just enjoy the atmosphere better there, its brighter and less crowded. And they speak english.

I agree with you on that, you've got to watch.

I don't buy jelly/canning jars in WalMart for just that reason. I can find the identical American Made jars in a local supermarket for nearly $3 a case cheaper than in WalMart, and when you buy them at the rate I do (5 or 6 cases ata time) that kind of money adds up. However, I do buy all my pectin, sucgar and vinegar to make my jelly in WalMart, because I save nearly another $3-6 per case with those lower costs......by keeping my coast of production down, I can keep my prices down.

Ain't capitalism grand!!!!!???????
