Since the mrs is disabled I now do the grocery shopping and yes I'm usually there once a week.Being an avid ad watcher I have noticed though that if one doesn't mind going to the other grocers that many products are cheaper elsewhere.

I try not to unless I need something right now. We drive 18 miles for groceries to avoid them and I'll try to find what I need through a local store. The one exception is that I get most of my meds though them. They are normally a lot cheaper than other places, meaning they cut into big pharma's profit margin. There's a lot of satisfaction in knowing that I did my small part in keeping Pfizer's CEO from getting the gold faucets on his new yacht.

We avoid Supercenters like the plague, but frequently shop at a Walmart Neighborhood Market for groceries. Better staff, convenient pharmacy hours, and have most everything that we regularly use. We still go to a butcher for meat, but they cover most of the standards. For our larger, weekly trips, we just order online, and use their grocery pickup.

For stuff like Laundry Detergent, Fabric Softener the occasional clothing item and ammunition it can't be beat. I also occasionally shop there for groceries.

Yup, we have a very nice Walmart Neighborhood market by us. It's got great prices on almost everything and rarely busy. Only thing I don't buy at Walmart is their meat, because it seems their meat prices are higher than almost every other grocery store for some reason.

But I vary where I shop. Sometimes another store will have good sales and matched with their online coupons there can be great deals. Does take a bit of planning and work though, which is why we sometimes just do the Walmart Neighborhood Market as prices are always good and I don't have to add a bunch of online coupons before shopping.

I'd rather go there than Hy-Vee. This city is a cesspool in and of itself, so there really aren't many options. I don't like to go there, but what choice do I have when Hy-Vee inflates their prices like they do?

Living in the boonies, we really don't have a lot of choices unless we want to live on wild berries and wipe with the Sears catalog.

We still get our meat from the farm, but other than that we probably spend about a grand a month at Walmart.

I have a Neighborhood Market not too far from me. It's the closest grocery store and if i'm just running to grab a couple of things I'll go there and use the self checkout. Cheap and I'm in and out in five minutes without the hassle and trashiness of a Supercenter. Otherwise it's Hyvee and Costco.

We never go there. It’s Target and Costco for general supplies and then Costco and grocery stores for groceries. Walmart just seems chaotic and unkempt. Shopping for those types of items doesn’t have to be a great experience or anything but it also doesn’t have to be unpleasant. Also Target has the red card so the extra 5% savings is nice. We have saved hundreds of dollars buying Disney gift cards there for our vacation.

Yes, if you sneak in early in the morning on the weekend it's not bad at all. Some of their equate/great value knockoff stuff is a huge savings. Due to my shitty skin there is this damn lotion I have to use and their knock off version is half the cost.

They have such a great business plan:

- Go into mid sized American town
- Destroy local businesses with decent paying job
- Hire the people who lost their jobs
- Pay non livable wage
- Only option is to shop at Walmart and you can't afford to shop elsewhere on Walmart salary
- Profit

I try not to only because of the time it takes. The stores are big so finding what you need can take a few extra minutes. + The lines, and the walk from the parking lot. You can spend an extra 10-20 minutes their simply because of the size/distance compared to a local market.

But, it is cheaper. I use local privately owned stores knowing that I pay more but at least i don't lose so much time.

Some things however are just required to visit Wal-Mart for.

Walmart started a new concept called the neighborhood grocery store, this one opened last year about a mile from my house in The Villages. It has only groceries, it's only about 40,000 square feet, about twice the size of an Aldis. A block away is a Publix which is about 55,000 square feet and is exceptionally clean, great selection and has a lot of employees, cashiers and baggers, but you pay the price. I shop at the Walmart because it's clean and prices are much cheaper. The Publix is still busy because we have a lot of retired people who are loaded and don't care about saving. We also have an Aldis that opened just last March and a larger Publix about 5 miles away, a small Publix about 4 miles away, and a Winn Dixie 2 miles away but W/D has the worse prices and selection.

Walmart started a new concept called the neighborhood grocery store, this one opened last year about a mile from my house in The Villages. It has only groceries, it's only about 40,000 square feet, about twice the size of an Aldis. A block away is a Publix which is about 55,000 square feet and is exceptionally clean, great selection and has a lot of employees, cashiers and baggers, but you pay the price. I shop at the Walmart because it's clean and prices are much cheaper. The Publix is still busy because we have a lot of retired people who are loaded and don't care about saving. We also have an Aldis that opened just last March and a larger Publix about 5 miles away, a small Publix about 4 miles away, and a Winn Dixie 2 miles away but W/D has the worse prices and selection.http://villages-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/The-Wal-Mart-Neighborhood-Market-at-Sarasota-Plaza.jpg

Welcome to 2007

Well, they're new in Florida. I was surprised they built it because we have 3 super Walmarts all are exactly 9 miles from my house in different directions. Shopping isn't so bad when you can drive a golf cart to the store.

We've had a neighborhood market here for about 15 years and it's actually nastier than the standard Wal Mart that I normally go to.

Hell yes I do. The online ordering/pickup of groceries is quite handy. I don't agree or even like their politics on occasion but that doesn't get in my way of buying value. It's very similar to going to a movie that stars a liberal actor (most of them) and enjoying the plot and their talent. Yes, I'm a conservative if you hadn't guessed by now.

It's still open? Walmart shuttered a ton of these stores a while back. They weren't very successful overall.

This is probably why I haven't posted on here in a year, post the word "new concept" and in the midwest it's not new but common so therefore it must be common everywhere. The only thing common in Florida is Publix, Aldis and Winn Dixie, do you have any Winn Dixie's? How about Piggy Wiggly, we had a ton of them in Georgia, how about Giant, Maryland has over 250 Giants, how about Food Lion, go to the Carolinas you'll see a lot. Every region has different stores, all I was saying is Walmart has built Neighborhood stores in Florida for the first time. I only came on this board to wish the Chiefs luck in their game tonight against the Rams.

We used to have Winn Dixie. They closed down. We used to have Piggly Wiggly. They closed down. We used to have Food Lion. They closed down.

They have such a great business plan:

- Go into mid sized American town
- Destroy local businesses with decent paying job
- Hire the people who lost their jobs
- Pay non livable wage
- Only option is to shop at Walmart and you can't afford to shop elsewhere on Walmart salary
- Profit

Actually I do hate the Redskins all my life being from Maryland. Yesterday I turned over to that game because I wanted the skins to beat Houston and the Titans to win the south, which was unusual for me because I never root for the skins. Besides with Philly and NY looking so bad, I rather have the skins win that division than the Cowboys, who I can't stand more. I saw the sack and it didn't look that bad, so I was surprised he didn't get up. I switched away before the replay. Hopefully Colt McCoy can pull out a few wins. Good Luck to the Chiefs, I think my Ravens would barely make a wildcard at best and I don't know how far they would even go if they did. I hope the Chiefs take it all, can't stand New England and hate Pittsburgh.


NOW -- Back to regular programming.

Why don't you blame the people who take jobs with the local Walmart instead of acting like they're victims? Walmart can't provide consumers with the low prices they prefer if no one will work for them.

What a bunch of nonsense. What killed mom and pop small town stores was mom and pop milking those folks dry.

In the 70s and 80s the company I work for was the on call engineering firm for Sam Walton's in house Architectural firm this region. We would do the design work the as a surveyor we would go in and construction stake everything being built those Walmarts.
The people we talked to were more than happy Walmart was coming to there nearby town. Mom and pop was fucking them so bad and they would tell you about it. Open at 9 am closed at 4:30 pm not convenient for working folk. They would drive to the nearest big city to take advantage of prices and products no available to them in town and stockpile.

When Walmart came they got to lead a life that we take for granted living in a city or large town. I never heard many gripes when were laying these out. Hell I remember going into a Rexal to get aspirin for a headache from breathing flyash they were cutting into the soil for compaction. A 6 tablet tin of excedrin was 1.69 back in the 70s for crying out loud. That tin case wasnt worth a buck everywhere else in a City was charging .69 cents for. Badmouth Walmart all you want but they brought normal living to rural America.

Walmart is an automatic 15 minutes just to get in and out. I can literally go anywhere else and shave off that 15 minutes.They seem to take pride in being insanely dirty as well.

I shop where I want, when I want and if I want. Depending on what I need and where I am I'm probably at Walmart, target or Costco. If it's not a grocery or reason to shop at small town stores I'll jump online.

If you judge me for going to Walmart or drinking Busch light, suck a bag of autumnal Meade flavored dicks.

I used to get AQUAPHOR in Equal brand but no more...:(:(:(

Yes, if you sneak in early in the morning on the weekend it's not bad at all. Some of their equate/great value knockoff stuff is a huge savings. Due to my shitty skin there is this damn lotion I have to use and their knock off version is half the cost.

This does not work with Costco. ****ing place is packed the second it opens
