Walmart goods are mainly cr*p, because they cheapen the product so
they can sell it for less. However, the Consumer Reports teaser (too
small to be a sample issue) I have says Walmart's Great Value
mayonnaise is so close to Hellmann's that it's hard to tell them
apart.

Personally, it will be a cold day in Hell when I shop at Walmart just
to save a few pennies.
