Um gee that’s tough to figure out, I’m trying to spend my money wisely now, I’m an American and anything to stop giving it to a wealthy prick that only deserves a curb stomping. I haven’t been to Walmart in a month now that’s a new record for me. Trying in this economy is tough
Reports out about how a new walmart in a region fucks the entire locality up in around 6 years. It’s a good read. I can’t find the article I read, but I think this is a good summary: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/walmart-effect.asp
cutting out Walmart a decade ago was one of the best decisions I’ve made that I almost never think about
it’s just such a shit experience all around. I’ve been in one maybe ten times on the past ten years, and only exactly three of those to try and buy something (only was successful once). the others were all to access a McDonald’s (which has since been cut out as well) when it was the best option for food on a trip
…not really. I mean yes limited funds-wise but opportunity-wise you’ve got access to the entire world market at your fingertips. You can buy all Chinese crap straight off the boat, or other places.
Watching your budget? Go to thrift stores, antique shops, and estate sales/auctions. It’s very green & environmentally friendly. And there have been many, many amazing American manufacture things of old that are so much better than their modern crap counterparts. The difference is night & day.

theres an episode in the “99% Invisible” podcasts series on this case study. I think it was called “Food Deserts”.
