    Walmart’s Out-of-Control Crime Problem Is Driving Police Crazy

    The retailer’s aggressive cost cutting has unintended consequences.

    There are also tons of grocery and other items that are outrageously-priced, but people will still buy them. I saw some detergent on there and thought "wonder how it compares to the price at Walmart?" It was something like $14... at Walmart it was $9. Walmart is cheap. Amazon might be. That being said, in many cases like electronics, Amazon is competitively-priced.

    Yeah it's always worth checking before ordering something online. I saved about $50 on a wagon, $30 on a playhouse, and $7 on Weber fire starters (10 v 3 [!!!]) by ordering from Walmart over Amazon.

    There is no worse experience than picking up an order at the South Post Oak Walmart in Houston.

    Whenever I need something off of Amazon, but really don't need it "now", I usually check price fluctuations on www.camelcamelcamel.com. It's amazing to see how much prices vary throughout the year and those alerts have saved me a ton on stuff I didn't need to have immediately.

    Why? I will always stick to whomever provides the best deal. Walmart is demonized far too much.

    Oh, and Neil Peart would've lost a drum challenge to Rick Allen. We knew it then, and we know it now. Deal with it.

    Why would Rick Allen have stolen your class ring if he couldn't wear it on his left hand?

    Only somebody old would get this. lol

    I remember when going to Walmart was looked down on, Walmart won the battle, but now Walmart is getting their asses kicked by the dollar stores, and Amazon.

    Stuff at the dollar store is not even a dollar, and they change the size of the stuff so its not really even cheap.

    They have screwed up so many orders for me, and their customer service is terrible. Totally cut Wal-Mart out of my life and am definitely happier for it.

    And I used to love Wal-Mart and think like you.
