Do you buy your clothes at Wal Mart?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I don't shop at Walmart for anything - they're stuff is cheap for a reason.

I have been price-checking things a few times and been surprised at how much cheaper they are than everybody else. When I was looking for an electric Jeep for my son I noticed they had the same model as Toys-R-Us for $50 less. After researching a bit I found out that the Walmart Jeep (with the exact same model name and #) is a cheap knock-off of the real thing (stickers instead of tail lights, an AM radio, and other changes). They do this with electronics as well, they will sell a Sony TV for $100 less than everyone else, but it isn't really the same TV. Very deceptive, in my opinion...

Challenge accepted. This is a pic from my last surgery, in 2010. I'm gonna go in and have the right side looked at here soon. I'm getting so I can barely get on the bike, lol. Can't be having that now!

They shaved the ball down to reshape it. That's the red part - its supposed to be yellow. That's where it was getting irritated. The white is my labrum. Its like the seal for the joint. Notice how its all torn up. I was 3 weeks on crutches and 3 months no running, jumping, or pivoting. Physical therapy sucked the big one. This was my second operation on my left hip. The first when I was 15.

Back to WalMart...

yo speaking of walmart, i was there with my crew and i stumble upon ammo. it was shotshells and i was thinking about buying them. this walmart was in bristol so these people never really seen hood people or something. the person that was working the area was on the phone whispering and what not to the manager or something. like should we call the cops, i dont trust these hoodlums, they are looking at ammo and look like gangster g cats. = terrorist

whats with these people?

That happens to me all the time too I just chalk it up to ignorance the closest they probably came to someone from my background is tv or work and honestly most hood people don't set a good example to the general public... Atleast not where I'm from but I feel you bro it does piss me off too

why? the manufacturer sent them the cheaper model, it's not like walmart removed the parts, repackaged it and resold it as something else

Actually Walmart has the stuff made just for them. The deceptive part is that they use the same model #s, but it isn't the same product. They look close enough that people think they are getting a better price on the exact same item, but it isn't the case. Check out these reviews of the Walmart Jeep Hurricane, there are a whole bunch of of features that you get on any other Jeep Hurricane, but not on the Walmart one:

Thanks for the example, it's exactly what i figured they do. deceptive yes but illegal no. it's as plenty of people have said, you get what you pay for. Darius would say silly people, you cannot get better quality for less money.
