[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello, real life here. I'd like to interrupt for a moment.

I had $100 budget (cash) to buy 2 daughters back-to-school clothes. Recently single mom, 50K govt job, tight budget.  I got brand name shoes at a discount store, and some cute, trendy clothes at Target. I have been known to shop at Walmart, as well. I've found really cheap, high quality clothes at Goodwill and the Salvation Army.

I work hard, and hope someday to be free to shop wherever I want, not just where I can afford, but for now, shopping at "crappy stores" is how i get by.

Should I by one tire at the store that provides organic fair trade coffee in the waiting room and where all the employees have full medical, dental and tuition benefits, or four tires at Walmart for the same price?

Do any of you live in the real world????

This is such a good point. I don't shop at Wal-mart because frankly don't need to and there is not one that is convenient to me (I will go to Target ocassionally and prefer that store). But I assume that people who do shop there are doing so because it's affordable and they are worried about their own families, and how they will put food on the table.

I highly recommend Penn and Teller's Bullshit on Wal-mart. Pretty funny.[/quote]
