    some previous posters have mentioned how walmart's were only in lower income areas etc.... this is not true, well, maybe because I am in Canada. I live in a very high income neighborhood and we have walmartt! boo ya!

    I also shop there frequently because its sooo cheap,and its a one-stop-shop. I can get all my house things,toiletries,groceries at one store. They have a great produce section too;)

    Make the right choices ppl, processed stuff is everywhere!!!

    Must be just your town Bella. Mine here in Nova Scotia is rife with potentials for Peopleof Walmart.com.

    True enough. This guy was menacing the customers in my favorite Wal-Mart just this week:

    Ok, so what I've learned on the forums lately is a) people are judging me for what's in my cart and b) what I'm wearing in Walmart. So take last Saturday for example, now I live only a few blocks from a Wal-mart. I was doing my yard clean up, mowing the lawn, picking weeds, etc. I needed some weed killer, so in all my XL jogger glory I just ran over to Walmart to pick some more up. I didn't change out of my gardening clothes, I went with dirt under my nails, and while I was there I picked up some chips and a few cases of pop that were on sale for my bbq party that evening. According to your judgements, I'm on welfare and can't take care of myself? Keep in mind I'm carrying an extra 60lbs of fat around. That's creepy as hell.

    First of all, as a rather 'small' guy myself who's personal goes are to get fit and gain muscle mass, I hate even talking about weight for fear that my not so savvy way with words will offend someone.

    But as an avid shopper or at least 'browser' with my family, it's fair to say that when you are out and about, if you're looking for them, you're going to see a LOT of 'overweight' people. But if you're looking for them, you're going to see a lot of skinny people, average people, etc.

    I do think this is somewhat a subconscious reaction to look for certain people because I haven't noticed that all the "overweight" people flock to one store only. I think the idea of that is absurd to be honest.

    I fed a family of five on $50-$60 a week and it was doable with a bit of planning.
    I shopped a lot at Aldi (which is cheaper than Walmart), cooked and baked a lot from scratch-right down to the cream of soup I needed for recipes, and cut out things that weren't truly necessary like paper towel etc. Also, during the summer I shopped a lot at farmers markets and also U Pick farms and then flash froze produce for the winter months. Also did things like batch applesauce and jam when prices were low/fruit in season, and then froze it (plastic canning jars are the best invention ever!).

    Today family of five and we have $90 a week for groceries. I also pack two lunches a day for my girls at school because it's cheaper than the school lunches. This fall I'll be packing three lunches when my youngest heads off to kindergarten :)

    :heart: you!
