People shop at Walmart because they're broke and have no other choice. They have the best prices, especially for people that can't afford Costco membership.
I have a Costco membership & still end up buying some items from Walmart because sure I'm paying more per item, but I can finish the pack before it goes bad so it's more cost effective.
amount i save on gas more than pays for the membership at costco. or they did back when i drove an ICE vehicle
Agreed, I still think some people would avoid it
