Whether you get the best price at Wal-mart depends on what you’re buying and when ... just like any other store. For example, their clothes are inexpensive, especially basic items like young children’s pants and shirts. However, they don’t last. Some people want better quality, and will go elsewhere and pay more. Others (like me) find that the children destroy the clothes no matter what you spent on them, so you might as well get the cheapest.
You can often find appliances for less, if you look around. On the other hand, most stores don’t even have toilet paper in packages of 48 rolls. Wal-mart has the best price on frozen pizza. For shoes, there’s often a better price/selection at PayLess.
Thanks for sharing this knowledge with me.
Over here in Europe, we often get to hear how cheap Wal-Mart is. However, even though Europe in general is poorer than America, Europe isn’t that expensive in relation to the Continental European wages.
OK, I’m Swedish and Scandinavian wages are like a gift of God. Where ever I travel on the continent I just enter the word “Lidl” on my GPS screen and five minutes later I’m in a store where money don’t exist.
