The only items I buy from Wal-Mart is anything I need in a hurry and can't get elsewhere locally. I'm sure I pay a bit more at Krogers, Best Buy, Kohl's, and others. but I've seen what they do to locally owned competitors (for sales and in recruiting from the labor pool), their employees, etc. Can't support their business practices. I don't presume to speak for anyone else. That's just me.
