Ah, okay. One of my issues is that people rank on Wal-mart and do not
seem to get how they are no different then other establishments. Or,
do not admit it.

For one, I shop where I can get most of what I need in one location to
save gas that has a dependable low price on everything. The prices do
flucuate on dairy/coffee as to make up for their low prices on others,
but it avg out still to be lowest even when other stores have great
sales.
