I like the convenience of Walmart (there's one close to my home) but I absolutely hate trying to find a parking space. The place is ALWAYS packed!! Even at night! Plus there is always a wait when trying to check out, whether it is the "Speedy Checkout" lane or the regular lane, it doesn't matter.
Most of Walmart's prices are quite reasonable. However, a new grocery store opened that is even closer to my house called ALDI. It has mostly off-brand items, with a few name-brand items, but I have found that I spend less at ALDI for grocery/food items than at Walmart. For example a gallon of milk at Walmart right now (3/4/09) is $2.75. At ALDI, it is $2.49. When ALDI first opened, their milk was $2.79, while on that same day, milk at Walmart was $3.49! Walmart quickly and drastically reduced their prices of milk after that, but ALDI is stil cheaper.

Like others I like the convenience of everything being under one roof at Walmart and they are the best overall on pricing.
I have the added advantage that they pay my wages lol and this brings with it a discount card. I do though have the same problems as everyone else parking, long lines and too many people.
