I would never give walmart up unless/until amazon closes 'em down.

edited to add: I haven't shopped in a target in a couple of years, since the management of target issued a statement that men who "identified as women" were allowed in women's bathrooms and dressing rooms.
Why am I picturing you checking out the "Walmart Pictures" types while you spend a lot of time there???

Why stop shopping at stores that offer low prices? Being rich doesn't mean one should waste money.

Target, yes -- Walmart, NO. (I have been boycotting Walmart for years.)

And when was the last time you seen a rich conservative in a Target or Walmart?

Well, I have about 3 million in assets, so not sure if that would make me a millionaire or not, not to mention when I retire from my job, I will definitely be a millionaire, and I still shop at Walmart and Target. Heck, I get my groceries from Aldies or the farmers markets, my dog/cat food and supplies and cleaning supplies from Target, and my farm animals food and supplies from Red Barn in West Palm Beach. I like to be cost savvy on every day items because most of my money is tied up in real estate, or saving for huge vacations. Rather spend large sums of money on stuff that will appreciate in value, or will give me memories that will last a life time.

In the town I spend my summers in its Wal-Mart or drive 20 miles to a larger city. All income levels in this area go to Wal-Mart.





But then again with $100 million my options of where to spend my summers would expand greatly so perhaps not.

I know millionaires (but they're not in the category of $100 million) and they're always waiting until things go on sale before they buy and frequent stores with the best prices.

Lesson: they didn't get to be millionaires, or keep their millions, by being stupid.

On another note, who are all these people who voted? I don't recall them posting in this forum on c-d before. Howdy!

we are usually the only white people in the Walmart, including employees, and the brown and black people in the store we frequent aren't 'people of Walmart' material. they are normal, respectful, regular people. In fact, I've never seen a 'people of Walmart' shopper in the five years I've been to the store, craigiri!
