ALWAYS LOW PRICES, ALWAYS.....BUT AT WHAT COST?

Anybody who knows me, knows that I am no fan of Mega Corporations and how they swallow up the small independent business in the name of free trade and capitalism. You also know that I am one savvy bargain hunter.

Read this article before you go buy another thing at a Wal-Mart Store. Yes, you can get a good deal(see CHEAP)inside those doors but at what cost ultimately to the health of our economy?
If you've been touched by downsizing or outsourcing of jobs AND you've been lured in by the smiley yellow circle's siren song, you may be partially responsible for your own undoing. Yes, that 10 cents off your Jumbo Pack of Toilet Paper is linked to why your job at the Proctor & Gamble Plant was eliminated.
Save 34 cents on that mega-can of Dole Pineapple(sliced or chunks)and see your Dole Stock sink 5 points every year.

We've created a Monster in this Country and it's going to eat us alive if we don't reign it in. THINK before you buy....make wise choices!
