That really a commodity purchase, and if there is a big savings, I buy some
things online. However, for general merchandise, my time and mental well being
are important to me... I hate lines. Also, the last time I bought a suit (some
of you guys will remember what that is... pants and a jacket that match) I
chose one at a shop where they altered it to fit properly, rather than picking
one off the rack and expecting all the pieces to fit right. Yeah, I don't
think they sell those at WalMart.
Speaking of WalMart, have any of you ever bought or watched people buying shoes
at the store - grabbing them off the shelf, sticking their grungy feet in and
putting them back. Sure Florsheims cost a little more, but you get a better
shoe and they are clean.
One more thing, before you jump on me for being too elitist, I bought my work
boots at WalMart - and hated every minute of the process. ;-)
