Another reason not to shop at Wal-Mart is that the quality of their goods is worse than other stores. Even the name brand products are lower quality than the same products in other stores.
Snapper Lawnmowers decided to stop selling at Wal-Mart when Wal-Mart told them to lower quality to reduce costs or leave.
Even if Wal-Mart is slightly cheaper, the products break or wear out more quickly (I especially have noticed this with clothes). In my experience, the use to price ratio is worse at Wal-Mart than at other stores.
