Alphecca

Here's a long list of donating corporations from the guys at Moorewatch. Exxon is among them.

Thats what I thought about Wal-Mart then I went back to buy some more stuff and low and behold they didnt have any guns all gone and the person behind the desk said that they were going to get rid of all gun stuff and that encluded ammano. I asked why and they told they decided not to carry that kind of merd in the store.
I said thank you I will find another place to shop. This could just be my area I live in Illinois.

Wal-Mart has good prices on whatever they have, though the selection is usually limited to 1 or 2 brands. Motor oil, small appliances (from fans to microwaves) and some staples are priced beyond belief at Wal-Mart.

Take a look at Sam's Club. Prices on liquor are unbelievable (and in many places you don't have to be a member to buy the liquor), beer, soda, paper goods. You need space to store it, but the prices are incredible. (alas living on a boat I have no space...) They also have great prices on DVD players, TVs (including flat screens) and a whole lot of other stuff. The yearly savings on albacore tuna paid for my membership. The rest of the savings were just great.

Don't know, Mike, the Wal-Mart in West Leb (NH) has a nicely stocked rifle and ammo area so you might be right that it's just a local decision. Of course, in NH and Vermont you can buy ammo at lots of gas station/mini-marts... We're a little nutty that way around here.

Every Wal-Mart I've been to in NH has carried guns & ammo. None in MA do (that I am aware of).

I'll buy ammo at Wal-Mart - you can't beat the price on 9mm, .22LR, and 12 ga. - but it'd be a cold day in hell before I ever bought a gun there.

I meant to blog about the fact that the first Wal-Mart I ever set foot in, before they'd rudely intruded on New England, was in Slidell, LA. It's probably destroyed, by the sound of the damage in that town.

Ironically, I was unimpressed because the particular store was messy and dirty, and reminded me of a poorly cleaned K-Mart. Since then I have learned that it varies from store to store, and the prices rock. When I got my first apartment, I bought housewares at yard sales and got some hand me downs. With Wal-Mart in particular, and cheaper manufacturing more generally, I'd now be able to buy new on the kind of money I made then.

Maybe it changed, but I am pretty sure the Wal-Mart in Halifax, MA carried guns and ammo. My brother worked part time in that department for a while.

Good for Wal-mart! I have never shopped there very often, not because I think they're evil but because they aren't convenient to me, but I'll try to work my way over there more often.
