Recently the local Wal-mart has undergone a face lift. Since they have made their changes, I really dislike going there. The selection isn't what it once was and whenever I try to find something all I see is a sea of white "Great Value" labels. I refuse to try yet another one of the Wal-mart brand items after having thrown away an entire box of frozen waffles because they tasted like cardboard. The clothing selection for women has become horrible unless you want to dress like Miley Cyrus or are looking for the more mature age 50 plus look.
The upside to this is the rediscovery of my local grocery stores. I may pay a little bit more but I am able to find the products I like. Plus, I don't end up buying a million things that I don't need like I usually do at Wal-mart. So it evens out in the end.
I live in a small town and the Wal-Mart is in the next small town over and many of the other items I usually need are a little further away so it will take planning on my part but my ultimate goal is to avoid Wal-Mart altogether.
I wonder how many other people are becoming as dissatisfied with Wal-Mart as I am.

There is a whole anti-Walmart movement out there. We're lucky that a new WinCo just opened near our home. I find myself buying everything from there that I USED to get at Walmart minus the extra stuff I didn't need anyway.
Have you seen the Jib Jab "Big Box Mart" song? It's pretty funny. Even our kids sing it.
