A Little Extra Cash

[Full Quiver]

Compared to Walmart the only thing cheaper at Food Lion is the rent.

Eager, the meat is bland because the cook is supposed to spic3e it up my friend.

Pastor Gary, Some folks say Walmart is evil just because Sam Walton had a good idea that they did not first think of.


Poimen, we had a family of 8 but I had to sell two of the kids in order to buy groceries last month.

Produce is ALWAYS better at a local grower's stand but even at the farmer's market you can get some nasty fruit that is not homegrown.

I shop at Walmart and Kroger. Mainly hitting the Kroger Card specials.

Have not had a problem with Walmarts produce at all.

I did have an Avacado explode in my hand at Kroger when I pressed my fingers on it to see how ripe it was (The answer was:Too ripe)

Thanks Jinjer for the Kroger tip.

There are certain things I can oly get at Kroger that Walmart Does not Carry: Clifty Farms Carolina Style Barbecue, Flax Seed & Grain Bread and a few others.

I have began NOT to shop at Walmart for the simple fact I always look for deals on other things: Any DVDS in the 5$ bin? Howzabout some VW bugs in the Hotwheels? And didn't I need [fill in the blank].
THAT is not good when you're trying to budget.

Shopping with a list is always good but the list is always longer hen you know that Walmart is the destination. I know this from experience. It's hard to bypass a deal or household needs or wants that happen to be just across the store from you. Temptation for such things does not exist at places like Kroger, etc.

That's not the case with us, Danny. I very seldom impulse buy from Wal-Mart, because they always have the same things, so I'm hardly ever surprised. If I see something that surprises me that I just HAVE to have, I'll leave it and come back another time to get it if I really want it. So it's easy for me to shop at Wal-Mart and just get what I came for.

It's the other grocery stores that get me. The "cool" food that I didn't plan for, particularly from the produce section and the international section.

Meat - The Fresh Market (AWESOME store!)

I use to work in the meat/seaford dept. at the Fresh Market! Yea, they are great. Much of there fish is flown in fresh next day. They are one of the few places to get fresh shrimp (thats right, not flash frozen!) I dont like shrimp, but it sells like hot cakes.
