I agree with a lot of what you all have said here. Another thing I dislike about the Muscle Shoals WM is the parking lot. I'm not sure what the problem is really but it takes forever to find a spot to park that isn't a mile from the doors and it is always so crowded. I have actually left and gone elsewhere before even getting out of my car many times.
Once again I went to Wal Mart on Saturday the 22nd, the Nathan's Hot Dogs that I mentioned in my earlier post that expired May 8th were still there!! I dug through and found a few packs in the back that had not yet reached their expiration date but being disgusted about it I just didn't buy any, will be buying my hot dogs at Foodland this week.
I mostly shop at Wal Mart & Sam's for groceries and for the things I buy they are less on most items than Foodland. I do wish we had more choices here, a Publix would be great, talking Kroger into coming back to the area would be better but I doubt that will EVER happen.

Yeah. People sometimes have very strong opinions about things I have figured out over the years online. It's usually best to let them get it out. I try hard not to take things too personally. I think I have developed a thick skin as well recently too though.

walmart decided to reduce their skus to make more money off their private label and cut costs. i heard that one of target's higher ups took over their presentation guidelines, including the decluttering.
their meat is actually purple when its first processed because it is packaged using "map" , where they seal it with nitrogen/co2 mix to preserve it longer. so the meat isn't as fresh. plus, since it looks purple because of the lack of oxygen, most of the places use dyes to make it more red and "fresh like". i LOVED the meat dept at the foodland in tuscumbia. always great cuts and service. wish it wasn't so far to drive from where i am now.
For my part I'm hoping that Publix chooses to locate a store in the Shoals area sometime soon. Publix may be a bit higher, on the surface, but with their Buy one get one free sales coupled with their much higher quality of items I would make them my first choice of any grocery chain. As for Walmart choosing to eliminate certain items, once you like them, I think they perfected that policy at SAM's stores for that has been their policy for a long time.
Well said Wierdo but I didn't mean common products. That was my fault for not saying so. I was referring to specific store related products that are produced or more correctly labeled for the specific store. Some would call them generic brands but I think at WalMart it's called "Great Value" (could be wrong) and each chain or store has their own specified branding. It was those product lines that I was specifying as being higher quality (at Publix), at least I think so.
