Well, you can't buy toothpaste as a Ferrari dealership. lol.
Seriously though, with that amount of money I'd likely hire someone to work like 20 hours a week for me and run errands like this.
I currently shop at both Target and Saks. It's possible to shop at both places, you know. I also buy my meat at the local butcher, bread from a local bakery, and my produce at the local produce stand.
Does the fact that I buy most of my groceries locally make me a snotty limousine liberal? By buying your food at Walmart, you are actually not supporting your community.

People like YOU allow folks like ME to stay in business AND you are appreciated GREATLY by those local grocers too.

The quality of the food is better too! I will NEVER go back to store brought meat, produce, bread after shopping at local places. You cannot BEAT meat from the butcher cut right there for you.

Naw...If I won $100 million in the lotto,I'd spend every dime of it buying up ground and then apply for every farm subsidy available(we have this discussion going in another thread) and NEXT year,I'd be a gozillionaire
I always liked Target, but I avoid Wal-Mart if I can help it. Not because I'm a snob, but if I can afford it, I like to support local businesses. Here in Michigan we have a big box store called Meijer, but it's headquartered in Grand Rapids, and family owned, so I get all the wal-mart conveniences while supporting the local economy. Score!
Same here, plus most Meijer are much cleaner and have a little better stuff. We have both close to me, and I never set foot into Wal-Mart, no need to with Meijer handy.
Nope, don't shop there now.
I'd be living in a nice tropical country with fresh fruit, snorkeling and diving a few meters away.
I don't have many needs now, probably wouldn't have many then.
The posts on this thread are just all kinds of wrong.
