Their corporate buyers have enormous buying power to get low prices for the consumer.
Too many people are Walmart snobs, quite possibly because they see a lot of people who don't have a lot of money shopping there. That in itself is a good thing. They do have low prices.
Gracie, always frugal.
That said, I love shopping for food most of the time at Publix...and Winn-Dixie for cookies. Wonderful cookies. The staff of life.
But Walmart has good glazed donuts, and cheap too.

Gracie, I guess I am a Walmart snob. I am a Walmart snob because I dislike the fact that too many Walmart employees have children on government health care programs, recieve food stamps etc. I do not think the tax payer should subsidize Walmart salaries because of their part time pay practices. They use part time hours to avoid benefits for their employees. When we lived in Georgia it was reported that there were 14 times more children of Walmart employees on Medicaid programs than any other employer. Yes, they have cheap prices but we subsidize those cheap prices with our tax dollars whether we shop there or not.
