Well, I'm cognizant enough to realize that the higher priced shite you buy also comes from China, you're just too dumb to realize it.

Before you had a sugar momma, you shopped at Wally World too, kiddo.

That's when the Costco membership is worth it. My youngest son would go through a gallon of milk every 2 days when training for football. The gallon 2 pack was sooo worth it.

Walmart closed here, so Costco is necessary.

That’s BS. The Target in Baton Rouge is better than any WM I’ve been in.

I mostly buy meats and fresh fruits/veggies so Walmart is pretty useless to me. I do shop at Sams though so the Waltons still get my money but at least the meat and produce there is better.

I can’t think of any reason to go to Walmart with any regularity

Buy household stuff at Costco and meat and produce at real grocery stores/farmers markets

Wtf do people need to go to Walmart for every week?

We have a Fred Meyer, which is like a super target. Same products as walmart has, just more expensive.

Had a Walmart by my old house here in TX that had a nicer clientele than most grocery stores when I lived in Louisiana. Was closer the HEB and Kroger by miles l, so went often. I moved to a larger house and am closer to Target and HEB, so just never go now, but would if it's convenient.

Now the Walmart when I lived in LA was hard to go into. And many here are that bad. Just got lucky to have one in a very nice area.

I buy online from Walmart, bit rarely go in the store. If I need something from the store, I go early in the morning before the people of Walmart are awake.

Well sure. But I’m not passed the point in my life where I want to get quality product for what I’m paying, especially in this economy.

We mostly buy meat and produce. The Walmarts here are absolutely terrible for both.

Probably 80% of what we buy at Walmart is the exact same thing you'd get at Albertsons or whatever store you use. But it's 25-40% cheaper here at Walmart on average. That box of cereal or pack of coffee isn't any different.

their produce always looks good but it isn’t, the only meat I buy there is ribs,the one near me always has good ribs, occasionally I’ll get a request to smoke a balogna (don’t get that one,) and I’ll get it from there, but that’s it

Honestly, it’s not.

We have multiple fruit markets (Paul’s for local folks) and farmers markets here, so there’s no good reason to even buy produce at a big box unless it’s middle of winter or something. Especially in spring, summer, and early fall.

As far as others, we get non-perishables in bulk at Costco and save a ton of money. Same with meat if we’re not getting part of a cow at the farmer’s market. I prefer Kroger’s private selection stuff if we’re going off label.

I've purchased our bi-weekly groceries at Albertsons and Rouses (local chain) a few times. It's about $100-150 more per trip. I'll keep my $200-300 per month.

We buy some stuff at Costco but with just 3 of us now it doesn't make sense to buy a lot of things in bulk.

I guess my local Walmart isn’t as “zooish” as you guys’.

You should shop at Walmart on occasion if so.
