Got three Walmarts out here (yes we must be that poor). Two opened up in the last four months. Walmart employs about 680 people in the area, which is a good thing. Not only that, other businesses are growing up around both Walmart and Cabela's next door to take advantage of all the people they draw, so more people employed.

Lot of retired people out here who shop at Walmart. You have to hang around for a while to get a look at anyone who would qualify for the People of Walmart site.

I comparison shop for food. Walmart is almost always cheaper. Bananas today are .39 a pound, compared to .59 yesterday at Safeway. Not much selection at Walmart, but the brand name items they do carry I will buy there before anywhere else because of price. I use Fred Meyer for meat and seafood and Costco for the bulk items.
