Costco is huge. But I refuse to shop anywhere that charges me a "membership" fee to enter the premises.<br /><br />Supermarkets are regional. I like SaveOn Foods (found in the western provinces). Prices are a bit higher but a far nicer experience.<br /><br />I'd love for Aldi or Lidl to open here but it's unlikely.<br /><br />I really don't understand the British divide on supermarkets. Luxury v. budget.<br /><br />I just read the flyers and look at what I want and then cherry pick at the various shops.<br /><br />I must admit I really only set foot in WalMart to buy dog supplies. It's cheaper there by far.<br /><br />50 and countinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051116860123693646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-89852788811597755602018-03-06T21:22:09.979+00:002018-03-06T21:22:09.979+00:00Ha ha here is the website people of Walmart its be...Ha ha here is the website people of Walmart its been around for years.

I came out of the jungle in Thailand, walked past a street food vender selling BBQ rat on a stick, looking for water and there in the middle of no where was a Tescos! they didnt take clubcards though... lol <br />Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-15644789677026566702018-03-06T17:55:26.517+00:002018-03-06T17:55:26.517+00:00Can not stand WalMart, they treat their people so ...Can not stand WalMart, they treat their people so bad and very sexist to boot. <br />Most of all Daughter had to buy something that the class could only find at Walmart so we went.

Population is not evenly dispersed in the US; there are big Western states that are practically empty, except for guns, in which states every person owns about a thousand AR15s each. Here on Long Island there are a few Walmarts, but I would rather pay extra and drink sheep snot than step one foot across their thresholds.
