[quote=Anonymous]Putting aside the ethics of Amazon and Walmart, because if you think Walmart is unethical, you’re not shopping there regardless of the quality…

Wonder Nation is great for basics. Most of my 11 yo’s school clothes are Wonder Nation. My son also really likes the Wrangler cargo pants and shorts with the XL pockets, also sold at Walmart. They are designed to hold a Nintendo Switch, and while we don’t often need to carry the Switch around, that size of pocket is helpful for other things (like his silent reading paperback).

Also in the “questionable ethics but good for basics” category: Amazon Essentials. Most of my “weekend” clothes are Amazon Essentials (T-shirts, cotton sweaters, linen shorts and pants, button downs, some dresses). Their jeans and chinos don’t fit me well though.

Back to Walmart (from someone with a background in food and ag)…because of their market share, their buyers get first pick of produce and meat. Which means that overall your freshest produce comes from Walmart. I think this might vary a bit by store. My local grocery Walmart has the best produce in the area, but I have heard other stores are not great, and haven’t investigated.

You’re also not getting the same variety of product at Walmart than you might at Safeway or Whole Foods. Walmart sticks to the basics: apples, tomatoes, spinach, strawberries, etc. Nothing exotic. But it does the basics well. Same for the meat: you don’t get a lot of different types of steak, but the NY strips are good.

Last Walmart tip: use the curbside pick-up option. Going inside Walmart is an adventure that I am not up for most days.[/quote]
