It isn't just a business, it's a blight on humanity.



And yet, in the monthly-ish runs for toilet paper, paper towels, cat litter,dog/cat/fish food, cleaning supplies, hygiene items, light bulbs and charcoal, you'll easily save $50 on a cartload. That's not counting the gas you'll save (think green!) by getting it all in one stop.

Go after dark and you'll probably get some free entertainment, too.

Here in the Deep South, we don't have to wait until after dark - especially on 100+ degree days like these

I really dont care for crowds.   I seldom shop there as we have other budget stores here.

I personally plan to send the chicago city council information that will show that walmart is a shoddy company,and that they are no good,and that all they do is break state and federal laws. There are huge lawsuits by employees,and former employees against walmart as we speak. Does the Chicago City Council not see this. They must be stupid literally,and otherwise. Chitown67. And thats the way it is.

Status: offline 		I despise Walmarts but like Costcos and will drive about 10 miles to go to one....The small city I live in has no room for any of these big stores (which I like and don't like and am on the fence about) The city council even turned down a Target store downtown a few years ago because of the extra traffic it would bring......Whew!

I'm personally going to send information to the city council that shows that walmart is the worst company in the world. They continue to break both state,and federal laws,and there are huge lawsuits by both employees,and former employees againt walmart,and their illegal tactics that they use against employees and others. Walmart is not friendly to anyone,and if you think that something must be wrong with you mentally. Chitown67. And thats the way it is.

I live alone so my savings would negligible anyway. If it costs me 50.00 or 100.00 a year I am good with that.

Imagine Rubbermaid's surprise to find they are out of business.
