 I was thinking the same thing this weekend when i was driving to chandler to get a deal on a patio set walmart had to clearance out. I'm really hoping we get a petco in there too, so i can get odds and ends for my saltwater tank in town. A local pet shop is ALWAYS better than the big box pet store, but I don't see one of them coming.... I'm really hoping for something though...

Now this is just sad.  Shopping sucks so bad here, people are begging for Wal-Mart.

I don't even spend $600 a month on food and stuff.  I can see, that for family types, WalMart makes sense for them.  However,  I can't stand shopping at WalMart.  Their stores seem very disorganized and dirty.  I would rather spend the extra money and shop Costco or Target.

 Same thing for us. Comparing identical boxed goods from walmart to fry's or bashas, walmart is always a money saver over the local stores. Even shopping bashas in chandler to bashas in maricopa there is a huge price increase at the maricopa store.

 I don't buy much else at walmart, unless i need something temporary and disposable. I'll never buy meat of produce there, i find sprouts is even cheaper yet for produce.

 Even if you never step foot in the maricopa walmart it will benefit you. Aside from the added tax money to the city they will force fry's and bashas to lower their prices a bit to a more reasonable level.

 I do the same. If I can buy the same exact GE light bulb, gatorade, kitchen aid appliances, Haynes socks, or Kraft mac and cheese for cheaper at walmart i certainly will. 

 I will not buy shirts, pants, shoes (except cheap sandals for around the house), or anything else that i expect to work more than once there. I refuse to buy cd's, dvd's or games there. They used to only sell edits, but I don't know if that is still the case.

 I won't buy meat and produce there either. too many times have i seen green beef in the cooler, or meat shoved on the shelf next to the coffee makers get tossed back in the cooler  

 I'm excited to see walmart open to provide discount shopping on some items, but more so to create a high draw shopping center away from 347 that will bring in other stores, and to add pressure to the other local grocers to lower their prices to match the stores in chandler.
