I don't see the appeal of shopping in Walmart regardless of prices. Employees can't tell you where anything is and they sure don't care if you find what you're looking for. There are different stores in nice neighborhoods and I think we deserve better. The Villages is not lower class and the newest construction is quite pricey. How do you ask someone to spend over a million dollars on a home and seal the deal by boasting "And, you'll be able to get all your groceries at Walmart Market! "

LOL....Trader Joe's.....and its high-class Two Buck Chuck....
Its frozen "organic" veggies are under recall for listeria
along with 41 other "high class" brands for Costco, Trader Joe's and....Walmart, all frozen/packed by the same CRF Frozen Foods operation.
And if somebody's going to "be asked to pay a million dollars for a home",
I'm sure they'll have the brains to see the Publix across the street from the new Walmart Market....the Publix opening at Hwy. 44 & Morse in the newest areas....the Publix at Hwy. 44 & Powell (Traverse shopping center by Brownwood).
"Trader Joe's originally recalled a number of organic products, including peas, green beans, broccoli florettes and mixed vegetables on May 3 in connection to a nationwide frozen foods recall announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and CRF Frozen Foods.
That recall affected nearly 360 products from 42 brands across all 50 states."

CRF Frozen Foods LLC expanded the recall, first issued last month, to cover 358 products sold under 42 brands, including products sold at Costco Co., Trader Joe's, Safeway and Walmart under brands including Bybee's, Columbia River, O Organic, Organic By Nature and Wild Oats.
