The time to boycott Walmart was decades ago. Before they drove the bulk of the smaller or local stores out of business.
Where else are many people going to shop? at specialty shops that are 3x as expensive in a down economy? or online with Amazon? Same evil different pile.
That said - anywhere there are local or smaller options people should absolutely still try to avoid Wal mart if at all possible.
Absolutely. I use my local grocery store as much as I can. Family owned, five or six nice big clean stores. Prices are a tad higher than Wallyworld but worth it. Same for my local hardware store, family owned, one store that's been in my town for decades.
Still, sometimes there just isn't a good choice for some things but the big box stores.
Yes, I do shop at Wang-Mart In these superinflationary times, my fixed income leaves me very little choice. I don't like it, but the budget demands it.
Not always. I'm penny pinching so much now I have apps for Aldi, Walmart, Food Lion and Martins, all of the grocery stores within about a 40 mile radius. I make a list before shopping and check all four to see who's cheapest that week. Walmart is often more expensive but not always. Aldi has announced it's dropping prices on 400 items and that's pretty brilliant when the knuckleheads at Walmart are announcing price hikes for non-existent tariffs. I suspect it's their fancy store remodels that's paying for, not tariffs. Food Lion often beats both Walmart and Aldi but then other items are more expensive. Martins has good sales but ridiculously more expensive on others and I'm not paying a dollar or more for something just to shop there. Martins was the first store around here to cheat on hamburger by adding gobs of blood so that when you opened a pack you looked like you'd murdered somebody.

🤣 Isn't that the truth!
I remember in the old days, you'd brown ground beef and have a few spoons of fat in the pan. Now I'm trying to boil away all that extra whatever-it-is. Thanks, pink slime! :(
You can actually control the amount of fat by buying lower fat hamburger. You can get it as low as 7%. It's a bit more expensive and actually 20% is supposed to be ideal for flavor. The watery stuff is either blood or they could be adding water. I don't buy any hamburger from any store that does this. Do you have an Aldi nearby? You might want to try them. When I can, I get hamburger from a local farm that's really excellent and not that much more expensive. Just about the best is wagyu hamburger from Heartbrand Beef. It's around $10 a pound if you buy the 12 pound package. It's a LOT better than the little squares of wagyu hamburger at any of the grocery stores. I also like the grassfed hamburger at Aldi. Grassfed is much better for you.
For a few things, yeah. And compared to Wang-Mart, Aldi's has a very meager selection. It might be a good alternative if you're living alone, but when there's a family in the equation, I can't rely o Aldi's.
There is no power at this point that Trump could assert that I would have the slightest problem with. He can be dictator, strongman, king, whatever he deems in the best interests of America. I'm in.
In many places in the US, you don't have much of a choice... it's Walmart or nothing.
Sorry to say, but if you're a major retailer, you're dirty in some way or another.
3 pairs of Wranglers and a pair of sneakers for $84 today at Walmart...
Just a pair of sneakers to replace my clapped out Asics Gel ones...at "Dicks" = $165. These people are fking high... Good thing they're giving those barefoot kids gluing the sneaker parts together top dollar and lots of time off to play...
Absolutely right. I said there are four groceries in my area. It's a bit over 20 miles one way to Food Lion, About 25 miles to Walmart and Aldi, another 10 miles up the road to Martins. I could easily drive close to 100 miles to go to all four. Time and gas wise, it's a lot easier to go to Walmart and Aldi, they're in the same shopping center.
Hear me out, let’s take this at face value with the “No Kings” thing.
What do the lead Democrats and Deep Staters know about this military parade that we don’t know…
Could it really be the storm is soon here, with mass arrests and marshal law to follow. Culminating in the reworking of the US from a “democracy” (republic), into a full Empire?
Might as well shop where you want, these places are all the same.

Did ChynaMart volunteer to be looted ?

The more they whine, the more I WANT IT TO HAPPEN.
Keep it up!

Same, I wish Trump was even a quarter as scary (based) as they prop him up to be
Same here. At this point, I'd welcome DJT having dictatorial powers, at least for a limited time.

Walmart only hires Indians in Canada. They don't respect their Neighbours.
Good thing Canada won't be a country for much longer.
"Good thing Canada won't be a country for much longer."
The evidence is pretty strong that it isn't a country, now.
Was Canada ever really a country? Don't they still have the British monarchs as their leaders?
Keep dreaming, Armchair.
Either Canada becomes a South Africa/Rhodesia with Indians or America saves you. I can't imagine Canada saving itself.
I admit that most of the woke companies I don't patronize anyways, but Walmart is one of my sins.
The Left Can't Meme, No. 47
If by "WE" they mean MAGA, then I agree with every statement.
WE actually do all those things.
THEY do the opposite, then gaslight you to convince you that they didn't do the opposite.

Nice to see the number of Anons determined to take down the DS as long as they don't have to do anything like stop supporting Wal Mart.
I don't think I meet the weight requirement to shop at Walmart.
