One of the problems with a company such as Wal-Mart is that they get people "addicted" to "cheap" products. Buts as everyone knows that buys their products is that most of the items such as electronics and clothes are only "cheap" initially, but you have to replace the products more often because of the shorter life span. They understand that with many peoples budgets that they will buy a product for $5.00 4-5 times over versus $15.00 once for a better product.
It's a cycle you get in and it's hard to get out of. We all get so focused on the short-term that we don't deal with the long term until we have to. I think it's basically human nature to a point.
