You consider Tic Tacs groceries? duh

Walmart sells exactly the same brands of groceries that are sold at
any grocery store only they charge less. I don't buy fresh meat at
Walmart because of how it's presented (in those plastic tubs it looks
like lab specimens) and that most is salinated... but all their other
food items are fine... even their produce is as good as at other
produce departments, common sense says to actually examine produce no
matter where purchased, even if picked from ones garden ya gotta
inspect. I like Walmart for frozen foods, they have a huge selection
and bargain prices... same with dairy, cured meats, canned/boxed
goods, toiletries, etc. I don't buy clothing at Walmart, it's not up
to my standards for quality but their childrens clothes are fine, it's
low cost and kids grow out of it before they wear it out anyway. I've
tasted Tic Tacs but don't remember ever buying any... aren't Tic Tacs
the next generation Pez?

Walmart has such buying power that they can dictate how their meats are
packaged.
Any they have them packaged with additional water and other things I don't
want to know about.

For groceries, lettuce, tomatoes, ect, they are fine.
