Took my sister to WalMart. Most WalMarts in this area are Supercenters. You know WalMart with literary everything including a supermarket, deli, and bakery open 24/7; the whole nine.
I just assume all WalMarts are super centers and I forget that there’s a lot of WalMarts that are not. Like da ones in Hawaii aren’t. I dunno about da new one dey building in AlaMoana.
Anyway my sister was saying we needed to go to the grocery store to get meat for dinner. My daughter was like they have meat here, we can buy groceries here. My sister was freaked, she thought we were kidding. She lives in Maryland, not in an area of SuperWalMart.
WalMart has become a necessary evil of American life it seems. Can’t live with it and can’t live without it. WalMart has killed many a businesses and brought in cheaper stuff from China la dat. They are the bullies of marketing, demanding their low prices because of the huge volumes they buy. They’ve caused alot of American companys to shut down.
Some stuff from WalMart is WalMart fall-apart, doe. You get what you pay for, right. I’ve learned never to go to WalMart on the 1st of the month. Also shopping after 10pm at the 24hr WalMarts is way better then being there at 10am.
Yet WalMart is the one stop shopping most of us enjoy. Once upon a time I use to average $60 everytime I walk into WalMart. I’ve had to learn to get only what I need. Its been easy though, its called the lack of funds. No money no honey yeah. *L*

The one near Ala Moana is built already. It’s huge but it’s not 24/7. Still it generates a lot of people. Sams Club is located above. I went there only two times…to pay MAMA’S bill. My sister takes her. I live a block away from Costo, Home Depo and the New Best Buy Store. I tend to stay away from them cause like you…no money, no honey. Hard living on a fixed income, lil’dat. LOL
Thanks for writing about this subject.

I can see the last e-mail was on August 22nd 2006 and today is May 14th 2007 but if anyone would kindly write back I would really appreciate it. I live in the mainland and wanted to know if there is a big price differance for everyday needs (food, gas, rent and so on and so on). I was told that a gallon of milk was $5.00 to $6.00!!?? at this time I only pay about $3.00.
