It is a good idea to check the size of the package you are getting at
Walmart. One time I checked the prices of paper towels at a couple of
grocery stores, Walmart and Big Lots. Walmart was the most expensive.
The package of towels was the lowest price but you got fewer towels.
When the Super Walmart opened here we checked out the groceries.

I live in a very small town where most the small businesses are gone.
I will only go to Walmart if I must have something right now that I
can't get at another store here. Fortunately we do have a couple of
good grocery stores.
