[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every single PP who complains about Wal-Mart being so terrible to employees, no insurance, whatever, shops there to get a bargain as well as shopping at Target.  Do you really think if Wal-Mart has a particular toy, viedo game for 20% off what others are charging, they are going to pay the higher price.  PPs are hypocrites.  [/quote]

Actually, I think a lot of them don't shop there because they can afford not to. Hence the single 50K a year mom reminding us of "real life." She had a good point.

I like to support local farmer's etc., but it is often more expensive for me to do that (shop at my local farmer's market). It's a luxury cause I can afford to support. We don't have a super high income (paltry compared to many on this board given the many "what is your HHI" posts I have read) but we make enough where we don't have to budget every food item, so I can pick up a few things at the farmer's market. If I had a stricter food budget, I wouldn't be able to justify supporting them.

A lot of people simply can't afford to take a stand against Wal-Mart. [/quote]

Thank you, Lady Bountiful, for sharing with us the fact that you don't have to shop at Wal-Mart, Safeway, Giant, or even Trade Joe's, because you have the money to endulge your luxurious and refined taste for food, clothing, toys.  Pray do let us know where you shop at a farmer's market in winter so that we may all be pea green with envy.[/quote]

Smooth, PP!  I like how you take comments agains WALMART and insert in Target, Safeway, Giant, and "Trade Joes".... stores we don't particularly have a beef with.  Just WALMART, right now anyhow.

(In fact it was so smooth, I almost wonder if you aren't one of those social media communicators companies hire to steer discussion forums in the right direction... could that be?  Just curious!)

The PP you were responding to isn't Lady Bountiful, she's just a woman who isn't desperately poor and feels she has enough cushion in her budget to be able to make decisions not based SOLELY on cheap price.

I'm not going to blame anyone for shopping at WalMart if they have to do it because they are desperately poor.  But people who aren't should be more socially responsible with their money.  Those of us who aren't so poor can at least afford to support a better store, like COSTCO.   At least they have a better reputation for treating workers faiirly.

In fact, I think I'm going to go join my nearest Costco tomorrow!
