[Vision2020] Wal-Mart a friend to those on a limited budget....

Wal-mart is NOT a friend to those on limited budgets. 

The cheap junk hardware equipment I bought at Wal-mart a year ago-- the only
products kept in stock in the store, have cost me twice as much in the long
run as more quality products would have done. It was false economy, and I
sort of knew it at the time, but I was-- stupidly-- in a hurry. The stuff
broke on the second usage and worked poorly when it did work, so I wasn't
interested in warranties etc. I won't drag on about this.

Frankly, I avoid shopping there, because I feel that I'm likely to loose
money in the long run, whether I'm buying candy bars or whatever. Most of
the stuff is junk, and not worth the hassle of the crowds, ill-informed
employees, weak range of selections, etc.

Of course, your mileage may vary and you are free to shop wherever you want.
Not for me... that's all.
