It wouldn't save me a few pennies even if I were inclined to shop for
groceries there. WalMart is miles away from the Publix, Food Lion, even
the Piggly Wiggly (I still haven't been there). In terms of gas/petrol,
it's not worth driving over there just to look for a WalMart version of
L&P Worcestershire sauce.

Mom used to buy French's brand Worcestershire. I'll keep buying L&P.
