We pretty much only do Walmart deliveries at this point.. it's generally pretty reliable as long as you don't mind your lettuce tasting like cigarettes

I have shopped at Publix for the last ten years and the last year or two my bill has gone up nearly double. I found a local Piggly Wiggly that I go get all my staple stuff from and meat and save 50% from Publix.

I havent stepped foot in a Wal Mart in years but I have never been inside of one and thought additional human interaction (with anyone at all whatsoever) would have created a better experience.

Self checkout is fine if you have 5 things. It sucks if you have 65 items.

If you're buying 65 things from Wal Mart you're doing life wrong.

Aldi should start opening large stores, Wal-Mart and Amazon need the competition.

We buy most of our groceries from Walmart. We do the pickup deal though. We aren't poor at all. I just don't see any reason to pay more for the same stuff.

Unlike most mouth breathers, I love self check out at Walmart. I can get in and get out without having to deal with anyone. Now, if this subscription service allows me to walk out without showing my receipt – sign me up!

It's not the same stuff. Sure, it may be cheaper but it's not the same. Has nothing to do with being poor; just poor decisions.

So your box of Cheerios or pack of Kraft cheddar is somehow different at other stores? We don't buy everything at Walmart but 90% of stuff for sure.

Never said they were. But, you won't find cheerios in our cart. If what you're buying at wal mart is the same everywhere else, what's in your cart is the issue not where you get it from. Again, not poor people just poor choices.

Sure, for the processed and packaged crap MAYBE you can save some money but that should be the minority of what's in your cart. For the rest of it, the good stuff, you will and can find MUCH better other places. If you have 65 processed and crap items in your cart you're doing life wrong.

I'm sure almost all of it is exactly the same.

However, I know of one smaller, regional food company that makes a version of their product for Walmart using cheaper ingredients due to Walmart's wholesale price demands instead of the "original" ingredients they still use for ones that go to other supermarkets.

How many people responded with a disclaimer “look I haven’t gone into a Walmart in years “ to maintain their OT elite credibility?

Tons

I was in Walmart yesterday. In and out in 20 minutes. Another positive experience. I don’t need some random person picking out what I’m stuffing my mouth with

I’ll never be too good for Walmart

I live in a small town and walmart is the only grocery store. We just do the online order and they load it for us. Have had no problems with this and there's no way I'm driving 30 minutes to buy shite somewhere else.

the boomers at work are going to love this. A couple of them printed out this meme last year and stuck them to their office walls.
