I avoid Walmart at all costs if at all possible. I can't even remember the last time I was IN Walmart
....(sometime last month and it was because the Pharmacy in my grocery store did'nt have something I needed). Got in, got out.....got on my way.
I have to say quite a number of people who work there (in our area) are very rude and unprofessional. So you can bet that whenever I go into Walmart I'm in there for a specific thing....don't like to browse or window shop either. It's not a Super Walmart...and even if it were I would'nt buy my groceries there...I have to say I'm very picky with groceries and won't buy the generic brands unless they're tried and true. Been there done that and have been quite dissappointed.
Speaking of American made...we are growing our own this year, taking a big step and doing up a garden for this specific purpose. Not many things, but veggies such as tomatoes, onions, squash, peppers, etc....every little bit helps. And for my dogs, I have been cooking for them since the dog food scare a year ago. That based with a good brand dog food kibble and the girls are pretty well set. Which btw Canidae just went up $6.00 a bag!!!
And my pet food supplier says it's due to gas prices....
So as long as the good Lord lets me I will continue on as I am.....
Just a little "aside" here. I am a crafter and have noticed that people buying things hand made/American made are getting pretty picky. They'd much rather go to the farmer's market where you can get things mass-produced from China and costing only a dollar than hand crafted here in the US.
Oh and I love the comments...."Oh...so and so....we can go to the farmers market and get something similar to what she's selling for way less". Sad really. Ok...sorry for the long post, but this does bug me.
