I've limited my shopping at Walmart's now to one item -- for the last 10
years or so I've not been able to get more than 2 out of 10 items on my
list -- sometimes none. Junk! (Well, not all...)

This item that I have been buying at Costco, I will be buying no more in
probably 6 weeks. It's over, Wal-mart!!
