the stuff gets used instead of winding up in the landfill :-)

| ## Wal-Mart used to sell off all their plants and trees (very

| time
| employee there told me they stopped that! They now trash them rather
| than
| mark them down. They do that to stop people from WAITING until the
mark
| downs. Can you believe the GREED of Wal-Marts owners/stockholders?She
| told
| me this when I asked her about a huge pile of shrubs, trees and large
| potted
| plants behind the building.

| What's the difference between your greed to get a bargain and the stock
| holders greed?
| ===========================
| There is no GREED when you get or look for a bargain. A bargain benefits
| BOTH sides, not just one side. The items are sold cheaply and the store
| doesn't take a loss, or worse yet, dishonestly claim a loss from their
| insurance Co. The person gets a good deal on the item and saves money
that
| they're usually end up spending in the same store on something else.
