Something I had to point out to some supporters of Walmart .... I challenged them to actually compare their prices with other big box stores ...
They are less expensive by pennies (at best, and often more expensive), and their goods are shittier by dollars ....
My friends dont shop there now either ....
NOTE: Portland OR has very few Walmarts, and plenty of other options ... I feel sorry for those in other communities who do not have those options ...
