This has been the question ever since we got a Super Walmart here. I normally shop at Kroger because I usually spend enough to save 30 cents off on gas. After going back in forth from one store to the other I'm finding that I get way more at Walmart for my money than Kroger. I shopped at Wal-Martie tonight at 9 in the evening and picked up extra items that are not normally on my list along with clearanced out winter boots for Syd, a t-shirt for a dollar, lots of cleaning things, Tylenol, claratin, and vitamins for the kids. My budget is always trying to stick near the 180's for two weeks worth of groceries, of course I do have to go back in a week for milk and bread, this trip I spent 171.71 with 15 dollars in coupons. I'm pretty happy about this, I think that I will continue to shop at Wal-Mart even though I'm sure there are people that would disagree with choosing this place to shop. Just remember I'm feeding a family of five on one income, I have to do what is best for us at the time...

Kroger all the way, baby!
There are consequences that go far beyond saving some money for yourself when you shop at a Wal-Mart. You can find countless reference materials that describes less than desirable practices on the part of Wal-Mart that results in, often-times, extremely unhealthy changes to local economy.
I would suggest spreading it around some.
