There are few items at Wal-mart that I can't get elsewhere, but here in
this town, there are only two grocery stores. Some items I have to go
there for unless I want to drive to Austin. Packed freeway and lots of
gas.


You're not the only one who goes to Walmart, I go there too, they sell
the Oakhurst Dairy milk I prefer. Can't get it in any supermarket
around here, but super Wally World has it.

HEB cuts the greens off of the beets. Always.


I look at veggies in there when I'm getting milk, but somehow I just
can't bring myself to buy them. Walmart=plastic in my mind, I guess
(except for that damned milk, why did that dairy have to make a deal
with the devil? G).


lol

Wal-mart has had Haas Avocados this week 4 for $1.00 again...


"A study by the New Economics Foundation in London found that every £10
spent in a local food business is worth £25 for the local area, compared
with just £14 when the same amount is spent in a supermarket. That is, a
pound (or dollar peso, or rupee) spent locally generates nearly twice as
much income for the local economy."
