Walmart is not low cost. The cost of shopping at Walmart comes from cheap items that look like their branded equivalent but are specifically made for sale at Walmart's low pricing and only last 10% as long as the real thing, stolen wages from your community's citizens, small businesses run out of town, decreased property values, and so many other negatives. There's a valid reason why homeowners almost always fight against Walmart opening in their neighborhood. It's a trash store that costs a lot of the back-end. Costco on the other hand sells quality goods, treats their employees fairly, and has great warranty and return policies. Don't shop at Walmart, it is a threat to your community.
