I feel guilty every time I go in there, so I mostly shop at the little local grocers in our town. However, on certain items, I feel that I've got to look out for ME. I want lower prices because I have a family that I am financially responsible for. Nobody's giving me any free stuff, so I've got to get it where it's a good price.

I guess most people feel that they get good deals there...I personally do not shop there. I think their clothes look wrinkled, it's always crowded & disorganized in the store. I've had the misfortune to be in a few stores while out shopping with others who love Walmart.
Give me Target any day of the week or year! I just watch the ads for sales & hit the outer perimeter of the store...that's where they put most of their clearance items.

Good question.As the birdies all say its "CHEAP CHEAP!" I am currently doing MUCH better. I do shop MOSTLY at Winco ( groceries) Dollar Stores, Big Lots, and thrift stores. ITS TOO TEMPTING for us po' folks; that's why! Whether we are fairly savvy or no, ol' Mr Walton has the American public by the short hair. I do realize that this is no excuse, believe me.

Game Theory suggests that when given a choice between a short term personal gain versus a longterm social gain... most people pick the former.
You can't convince people what saving money isn't in the best interest.

How do we know it's hurting America? I shop there because it has good prices on a lot of stuff.

The reason that they are so large and yes so successful is that they market at the lowest price. They do not promote mediocrity through union membership ( no socialist free ride ). I save on everyday merchandise and I will soon save more on my medicines.

I shop there because where else can you get anything you want at 3 in the morning ;-)

Because Americans are the greediest people on the planet, and don't care at all about anyone other than themselves.
