They don't have near the same global range. There are no Krogers in China LOL! 2. For that reason, they don't have near the same level of responsibility; iow, right or wrong, I *expect* Walmart to do more than the average chain grocery because they ARE more. 3. I don't feel icky or used or abused when I shop in those other places. Hey Tim...can you "diversify" those stocks LOL?? Definitely give the book a read; it's right up your alley methinks!

Thanks for the nice words! Had lots of readers visit because of your entry. I'll have more info on the Richest People in the World contest on the new site next week. Crunchy Cons - I have a hate/love/hate relationship with Walmart. I HATE shopping there/love what the stock has done in our retirement portfolio (Ibought it in 1994) and hate how it's putting the small town five and dime out. I need to read the book. Wow, Tia!

I too was very pleasantly surprised by Crunchy Cons, and just how much everything he said resonated with me. I enjoyed your earlier posts on Wal-Mart too. Since finishing Crunchy Cons I have been wrestling with shopping at Wal-Mart. It's close, it's convenient, it's cheap... A big part of me wishes to break free from it. But I wonder, is Kroger, Food City, Food Lion or any other grocery store that much better? I have decided that in season we will do a lot more shopping at the Farmer's Market and the local produce stores. Supporting local family farms is in our families blood (or at least Sarah's since her family are apple orchardists from way back). TGIF indeed, and here's to the coming of spring, whenever she may decide to grace us with her presence. Amen sister!
