that's in Defiance, Ohio. Pretty close to me, actually

The Walmarts in Toledo and also the one in Wauseon also don't have the door greeters anymore. Actually, I've heard people complain that they miss them.

I go to Walmart for a few select things: pop (2 liter bottles for 78 cents), Scott toilet tissue, and a very few other things. But every time I shop at Walmart, I kid you not - while I am walking thru the store I get a charliehorse in the bottom of one or both of my feet. It doesn't happen anywhere else. ONLY at Walmart.

We have Kroger, which is where I shop the most for groceries. It's the only grocery store we have here in our little town. If I want to go to Walmart or to Aldi's, I have to drive at least 20-25 minutes away. I do go to Aldi's about once a month tho. Can't beat their price on things like real butter, sugar, flour, pancake mix, syrup, etc. As far as meat goes, I will ONLY buy meat from our local meat market because there is such a huge, huge difference! They are VERY selective about what meats they process and sell - nothing with anti-biotics, etc.

Right now because I am what you called trailer trash, as I live in a trailer, i buy what I have money for. I can not eat walmart hamburger--fresh meat or their fresh fruit as it taste bad and makes me sick.

1. You are NOT trailer trash just because you live in a trailer. Anybody who calls you trash because you live in what you can afford, needs to repent of looking down on their brother. There are many decent people who live in trailers because it is all that they can afford.

2. You are absolutely correct in buying what you can pay for. That is why I've been shopping at Walmart. But, when it gets to where I feel like less than a human being after they check receipt slips to "make sure" I am not stealing anything from them. They refuse to have big bags or "paid" tags to put on large items. I have only 2 choices...either shop there and take it (their insult) or don't shop there anymore. Why all the electronic surveillance if in the end they have to have humans checking receipts?

3. I do not buy meat or produce at Walmart either. I bought some pork chops there once and it did not even taste like pork chops. If you look closely, the meat has a "shiny" appearance to it. I think that their label says something about injecting some sort of solution into the meat.

I want meat. Nothing added, nothing took away. I even want the bone in the meat but very few stores will leave the bone in the meat nowdays.

When Wal Mart came to our little town we thought we were up town..... Now it's a Super center and a horrible place to shop.
