MOriginally Posted By: marchboomIf they won't sell ammo then there is no sense in buying their hunting clothing, firearm accessories, gun cases, gun cleaning supplies, hunting/fishing licenses, etc.
This is my thinking too. I don’t plan to spend a penny in their sporting good section and am trying to stay away from the store as much as possible. They have a monoply now and have run Kmart out of business here. Magic Mart closed too, not sure if Walmart related or not. There are practically no local places left to get certain items. I think I will be doing a lot of online shopping.
Most anything Walmart has is available on Ebay, Amazon and other online places, and of course a few small businesses locally. Convenience is what Walmart offers, so getting past the quick convenient purchase is the biggest hurdle. Walmart’s prices are not as good as they used to be on some things too. A few years ago I bought my son a new digital camera through the mail and saved a flat $100 over Walmart’s price.
Yesterday I purchased an item from another store in the Walmart shopping center and probably paid a few dollars more for it than I would have in Walmart a few doors down. I plan to stay out of Walmart to the extent possible and have asked my wife to do the same.
