I’m Addicted to Walmart. Please Don’t Judge Me.

I have a deep, dirty secret that I have to share with you. Promise not to judge me?

I am addicted to Walmart. Yes, I know that many of my friends are so anti-Walmart that they would likely disown me if they knew how much I shopped at the corporate giant. But I can’t help it. Their prices are SO ‘effin cheap, and it doesn’t help that there are nearly no major retail chains in my neighborhood. (I live in the hood.)

And yes, I know that the execs at Walmart are staunchly anti-worker. I also know that the uber-retailer drives down competitors’ prices, especially at mom and pops’ shops. But l gotta keep it real, I don’t really shop anywhere else.

Can you really blame me? In one afternoon of shopping you can cop everything from t-shirts to a jumbo pack of Pampers for damn near nothing. And it doesn’t hurt that at every hood Walmart in the world bootleggers are selling the latest movie or CD for 2 for $5 in the parking lot.

I fear that there is no cure for my addiction. I’ve tried really hard to shop local, but it just isn’t working. So please, don’t judge me if you see me coming out of a Walmart near you. I have a problem, and I am not afraid to admit it.

    I also am addicted to walmart. But I don’t see it as a problem. I SAVE between $800 and $1000 on grocery for my large family. That is nearlly enough to make out morgage payment! It would be irresponsible obeautiful f me not to shop at walmart. I can give my kids a better life because I can afford all the things they need and things that they want. Who cares what company makes it. They sell good things. You would never know that my nice sweaters are from walmart. I pair them with my expensive UGGS and noby can tell I don’t shop and Nordstroms. I can buy my kids a n outfit for less than $10. At the rate they grow why pay more. The kids are still warm, comtrable, and stylish.
