Wow! This group really is anti-walmart! Wal-mart/Sams was not mentioned once!
About 6 hours tonight...that's a two week record. Maybe it's the backlash of caffeine withdrawal.Originally Posted by pardes
Some generic brands are actually brand names, you know.
Where do you think that stuff comes from, Generic, Inc.?I wonder what their stock certificate would look like?

I shop at Sam's Club on occasion (Sam's much more regularly), but I've not been happy with their house brands. Can't specifically remember what I tried at this point, though. Wal-Mart is a whole lot further away from me than Target, and our Wal-Mart isn't very nice. It's old, small and has a very bad food selection (it's not a "super"). They're not my favorite company (for reasons that aren't approporiate for TE Originally Posted by Mr. Silver

Interesting about their Advil - I've tried other generics (Trader Joe's), and did not feel like they worked as well. Hmmm....
