I don't care if an item at Wal-Mart is $1.00 less, 50% less, 75% less...I simply choose to never give Wal-Mart my business. Sure, I could save a few bucks by shopping at Wal-Mart, but that ignores the REAL COSTS that Wal-Mart imposes on society. A buck off a book or $40 off a TV simply isn't worth it.http://sliceofpink.typepad.com
