Do Wal Mart Supercenters help or hurt the economy?

I didn't shop at WalMart for a long time but my daughter kept telling me I had to try it because it was so much less expensive than the other grocery stores. I finally gave it a try and have to admit, my grocery bill was literally cut in half. I have had no trouble finding brand names, etc. We recently went out for the day and we were going to stop at WalMart to pick up cat food, which I was just about out of.

I buy Friskies 5.5 ounce cans -- they are 44 cents at WalMart. Since it was getting late, and we would pass by Safeway on our way home, we decided to just stop there and probably pay a bit more for the cat food. Well, Friskies 5.5 ounce cans were 74 cents each, almost twice as much as WalMart.

Same with ice cream -- I love Ben & Jerry's ice cream and it is almost twice as much at Safeway compared to WalMart. I don't mean to get on the band-wagon for WalMart but I can't afford not to shop there.

I shop at Walmart when I need the cheap stuff they offer. I shop other places when I need what they offer. Walmart is the great middle class store.

Good value for the masses.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
