Sometimes I really miss Pittsburgh.

Lol, but it is well known that Walmart also brings all of the crazy and stupid people out from wherever they're from. I live in a yuppie area with a Walmart nearby - I have no idea where some people shopping there come from.

Cheerfulgreek, go have a cup of coffee or something because you're clearly not awake yet.

I know, but with gas prices the way they are it's hard to justify driving in to Giant Eagle or Whole Foods, or even further to Sams or Costco.

Anyone use Schwan's? I'm thinking it might be a good alternative to cut down on grocery trips with summer looming!

I was talking about the stupid people Walmart brings out because it seems the OP was surprised that someone who's swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool was shopping in Walmart.

Thankfully I have a super-yuppie Shop 'n Save (with an in-store liquor store! Very much a rarity in PA) about 2 miles from me.

I usually go to Farmer Jack and I hate that they keep rearranging the aisles. LEAVE THE AISLES ALONE!!!
I'm sick of trying to find items on my list and everything has been moved to a different place in the store.

People on my street use Schwan's, and I thought it was a true convenience. Then, my brother, who lives 19 miles past the "Abandon All Hope" sign, told us that the locals near him use Schwan's a lot. As in, "HOO - EEEE! We're havin' Chicken COOR DON BLUE tanight!" But he does say that their ice cream is pretty good.

LeslieAGD, I hate when they rearrange the aisles, too. I make my grocery list according to aisles, and when they're changed, I feel like leaving the store. I also hate when I need just two or three things, and they're on opposite ends of a HUGE store - and the meat doesn't even look fresh. blech.
