"For meat - I hit Costco or Sam's ... but for basic groceries Wal-mart is consistently lower .. at least here in South Texas"
Sam's is owned by Walmart, and Cosco is owned by a democrat activist.
Well I decided long ago I'll go where I want for the best quality at the best price.... no matter WHERE you shop there's an up and downside...
I hit Costco because it's next to the Wal-mart... If I'm further down the road I go to Sam's... :)
Around here Sam's sells choice, WalMart sells select. Other than that WalMart groceries are as good as any others.
