I don't try to shop at Wal-Mart anymore just for the reasons you say. But sometimes its hard not to. My problem is a old friend of mine is a assistant manager at the local Wal-Mart here so I just like to go in to flirt with her.
The prices aren't too much different in reality. In my area we used to have a K-Mart and Parmida but once both of those stores closed Wal-Mart raised there prices 5-25% on everything. I know that because within 50 miles from here there are 4 Wal-Marts and the other 3 with competition have all the same prices but the one by itself is higher.
I like shopping at locally owned grocery stores now, the prices are only like $.25 cents different, big deal whats an extra $5 to 10 dollars going to matter on the bill, most people are so cheap on stuff like their dumb. I also go to Target Alco, and Dollar General mostly. I live in a rural area, that's why I'm surrounded by Wal-Marts.
The Wal-Marts are dirtier than the other stores plus the stuff is kind of crappy. |

I hate Walmart, but I still go there. Hey, I'm trying to make it and it's hard. I don't have an "All American" store on my corner - what about you?
Besides, not all their products are made in China. We buy toy cars that my son LOVES from Wally World and they are made in mid-west USA (do not remember the state)... they are inexpensive, but not cheap, I love those toys.
If you look deep, it's hard to buy all American stuff.... somewhere somehow something comes from another country. I hope that in other countries, people buy stuff from USA because it's better quality and then we reap the benefits??? I don't know if that happens though. |

While Wal Mart does undercut local business,it also supplies some jobs to the community |

because many american families can't afford to be shopping at more expensive stores, they naturally buy the cheapest things from the cheapest stores. most people have more important things to worry about than supporting another country's economy instead of their own. they instead choose to worry about taking care of their family and make choices that make financial sense. so lighten up on them.
ps i avoid wal mart because i can afford to go elsewhere, and walmart is squashing small business growth. |

people want low prices and quality stuff
but China is just rebuilding its income because it paid its surplus
good that China is eating the economy of America
America is the worst due to many issues
capitalism today.....what do you think of it?? |

Tell me where else to shop at, man, and I'll go shop there. And give me some extra money too, so I can actually BUY the stuff I'm window-shopping. |

When I want to go shopping at 4:00AM, there aren't many choices. |

Where do you suggest we shop? I do my grocery shopping at the Wal Mart Supercenter where I live because there is a better selection and the prices are a lot better than Food Lion or Harris Teeter. Yes, Harris Teeter has a great selection in their meat department, but honestly I can not afford to pay that much. I buy my kids clothes at Wal Mart because what is the point of paying so much money for something they are going to stain or grow out of in a matter of months? I have only occasionally bought my clothes from there because I can never find any thing that fits right. And where else would you suggest I buy Christmas gifts? Toys R Us or KB Toys for the kids?? I don't think so! I refuse to pay that much money for the same toy I can get for less money at Wal Mart. I'm not saying I would never shop at these places or any other store, but if its something I can find at Wal Mart guess where I'm going. |
