Can we do the happy dance now and talk about Walmart being here with us? I don't know about you but I am happy as a kid in the sand box naked that they have joined us. I bet you are asking why. Well the only thing I can think of is that I like Walmart. They are a pretty cool place to shop when you want to save some money and get all the things that you need in one drive to the store.
With all of the holidays coming up and all of the things that the kids do Walmart is really THE place that my family and I go to take care of that. Imani gets her socks and hair accessories there, we grocery shop there, I buy online and use the site to store feature where they ship your purchased item to the store you choose for free all you have to do is pick up what you bought. How cool is that?
Walmart is also a place to get great electronics like IPODs, Dell, HP and all the latest DVD and songs.
If it sounds like I am a Walmart junkie call a spade a spade. For only one reason, it offers what I need right near my home and its cool to come here and catch up with people all the time that we rarely see and in a town like this one why not because a lot of people live so far out in the woods.
So it's more than just a store it's a way of life for us here. Go ahead and scoff, laugh if you want but that's ok you know you go to Walmart too I don't care if you only go in to just buy a money order or pick up toothpaste you go. HA! Thought so.
And my little town is finally getting a Super Walmart. Now for this community that means jobs and more of them. Many companies will move to where the Walmart is to be close to the shoppers so that will mean the area that this Super Walmart will be in will grow. Which is great. Now I wanted to point out too that I saw this whole documentary on Walmart and how it killed small business. Let me just say this....in the town where I live the industry which was mainly manual labor for the military shut down after the cold war. THATS what killed the small business here, people had to go to where the jobs were and they are not here. I am one of the lucky ones who works from home but my family sacrifices as well since Kevin has to work in Louisiana on a ship to make money. So a new Super Walmart will help the businesses in this area and offer jobs as well.
Let's be clear on one thing before people wear me out with comments about Walmart and horrid they are. I'm not saying that Walmart is the answer to all the problems of a declining, dying town like this one but what I am saying is that for people that have no jobs, no opportunity right now to do better this could be a stepping stone and nothing else unless they choose to make a career out of it then that is something different ok?
So now why don't you check out Walmart, what they have to offer and save some money how bout that?
Now Check Out this Video about Walmart I love this! Happy Saving and Shopping
Till next time
