you know the economy is bad when...

according to walmart

Wal-Mart, which averages 140 million shoppers weekly to its stores in the United States, is considered a barometer of the health of the consumer and the economy.

how in the hell is walmart THE gauge  of our economy? if that is true, then the poor do in fact really dictate this country, not the rich. Also, China in some round about way, control the aspect of our economic spending if walmart is the barometer of it. If walmart was to ever hit bankruptcy, we'd be screwed.

According to the recent article saying walmart's numbers are down, people are are still spending, but not there. Then where? dollar stores? thrift?

I know when I shop I go to Target first. I mean, have you ever been to Target and really compared prices? most of the time, walmart is only 3-7¢ cheaper than target sans coupons. get some decent coupons and go to Target and save money AND dignity. Personally, I prefer Target over walmart any day of the week to walmart.
