Yeah, I know. You wouldn't be caught dead in Walmart. Truth be told but you can save a crap load of money shopping there. The big discount stores like COSCO, SAMS, or BJs are another great place to save money but you have to know what you are buying. Not everything is a great deal. These stores have what is known in the business as "loss leaders". Loss leaders are items that a store sells that they actually loose money selling, but they attract shoppers. Stores hope to recoup there losses on selling you other items that aren't such a great deal. This is how they make their money. So the bottom line is know the price of what you are buying and don't assume everything is a steal.
