Pete, glad to hear of your return to OKC. We avoid Wal-Mart as much as possible simply because it's a hassle; long check out lines, too few employees, difficult parking. But generally once a month, we go to purchase dry goods - paper towels and toiletries all of which we could buy elsewhere but, for this particular type of merchandise, I'm a value shopper and WM has good prices on these items, plus, my wife checks out their fabric department. I suppose Target would be the obvious alternative but I don't know that much would be gained. Many of the same dynamics are in place at Target, plus....if you've ever noticed, Target carries pretty much the same (made in China) merchandise that Wal-Mart sells, generally at higher prices.
