(10,942 posts)I suggest that you step into one and walk around, you, like me may be surprised by what you see.
BTW, the national brand plastic bags that I purchased are made in the USA and are the brand that I use at home. I looked around the isle that had them and a couple of nearest isles and SW impressed by what I saw, name brand offerings at low prices.
I am guessing that the stores are serviced by a big warehouser that buys in enormous bulk and pass most of the savings on. I didn't buy veggies or meat but came across two shoppers that were buying some of those items, they looked good to me.
I wasn't there to buy clothes, so I don't know what was in there. I buy all of my clothes over the internet after switching to USA made only clothing and shoes a few years back.
