You could go to the mall or a store and watch people shopping which can be great fun as well

 

[Ruth]

Yeah, I used to like to do that.

It has been raining and gloomy today. I will be fine.

 

[psalms 91]

[Ruth]

It's raining here today, too, but the temperature is good yet.

 

[psalms 91]

[Ruth]

It's still going to be warmer than usual for awhile.

I haven't been to a mall in a long time.

Yes I went to the Mall last week. It was not crazy as I thought it would be, and people were actually polite. LOL.

Don't care for wally world myself, it's a last resort of nowhere else had what I need.

 

[psalms 91]

Not a fan but they are cheap

 

[Ruth]

Yes, their prices are very reasonable.

 

[tango]

They are, but sometimes they are cheap and nasty. I have three wally world stores within 25 miles and don't like any of them.

 

[psalms 91]

I dont like what they do to employees and small stores where they go in but when money is tight then wal mart it is or the dollar stores

I agree!

 

[Lamb]

Some Walmarts are better than others! The Walmart where I live now is much cleaner and better organized than the one where I used to live.

I have 2 Wal Marts to go to but I mostly shop online. I used to like to go shopping at Wal Mart, though.

That makes a lot of sense, but at the same time the more people do shop at Wally World because cash is tight, the more people will have to shop there because cash is tight for everyone.

Large chain stores suck cash out of communities whereas with smaller chains and independent stores the money is more likely to stay in the community. It just needs a good number of people to play the same game, and maybe buy fewer things rather than trying to have everything at a knock-down price. In many ways it's like when governments create inflation - in the early days everybody benefits and nobody pays but in the later days everybody pays and nobody benefits.
