You nailed it Yardstick. Growing up in So. Cal all I head was how rotten they were and the local govt. would not let them build.

Moved to TX and built a house about 1/4 mile from a super Walmart. Went there because I need something fast and called my wife and said "you gotta see this!" She went over later and said the groceries section/deli/bakery is huge! She went to kroger one last time and kept the receipt. Then next week went to the Walmart.

Bought the exact same items, or walmart substitute, and had saved $30 on off the $110 Kroger receipt.

We've found about 2 items of the Walmart brand (Great Value is their brand) that were pretty bad, but everything else was same or better.

We're hooked and so are most of the neighbors in the new development we moved into. We were the one of the first 5 in our new development and a lot of out of staters are coming here and they are hearing about it and figuring it out also.

Their oil changes are even the best value around also and since I do a lot of driving that matters to me as well.

Yep, I hear ya. Walmart is cool. I like their bake-it-yourself pepperoni pizzas. One of my favorite pairs of jeans I got at Walmart, and I’m kind of a jeans snob.
