I always spend way more than I want to, always get overcharged on at least two items everytime and don't catch it till I get home (there goes any savings!), I feel bad for the employees... low pay, kept under 40 hrs so they can't collect any benefits, it's depressing.
The quality of most their products sucks: hence the cheaper prices. No more crafts/material dept
but in a way that's a good thing, bc I won't have to wait over 30 minutes or more for someone to cut the material for me!
I can still find bargains online, and purchase cute doggy clothes from our own fabulous YT Vendors, and get treated more fairly and don't have to drive to do it. So I save on gas and time.
Last trip for meds I stopped at the Dunkin Doughnuts for one of their new drinks... got a pretty intense case of diarrhea thankfully
after I got home.
So I don't feel the need to do that ever again. Leary of the silly doughnuts too!
My new game is to go in only when I have no other choice, and come out spending under $20.00. (exceptions made for stupid cheap stuff I have to have!) Or, if I just feel like shopping (also called exercise), I'll take a cart, shop to my heart's content, use the price checkers that never work, get frustrated and leave the cart wherever, and go home! I really had to do that once but left the checkout line bc I had to meet the daycare bus at home, the the checkout process was clogged as usual.
I shop the childrens sale clothes alot for furbaby stuff and hair ties. If I see a dress on clearance for a dollar or two, I get the largest size (more material, unless it's something alterable) and go from there. Last winter I scarfed up 4 Ravens Football cheerleader dresses (NFL Logo and all!)$5 each! 3 to alter, and one a total remake for my little dude! (he don't do ruffles or lace!) Keeps me busy enough I hardly miss the crafts/sewing dept at all!
Summing up... more bad than good at this point in time. We give WalMart many
.
Venting feels good!
