According to CBS Moneywatch here are a few things that you SHOULD buy at WalMart.
1. Coffee - ESPECIALLY if you're a fan of fair trade practices. WalMart has teamed up with TransFair USA to bring fair trade-certified coffee to it's stores. You'll be able to pick up some high quality coffee for under $6.00 a bag and the coffee is sustainably grown by farmers who receive a fair (living) wage.
2. Moderately Priced Consumer Electronics - skip the higher end stuff here, as WalMart doesn't provide knowledgeable service to help you, but if you're looking for a simple high definition TV or a point and shoot digital camera - the prices can be much lower. Just be sure to do your research BEFORE hitting the store.
3. Smart Phones - have you noticed that WalMart has had sales on the iPhone? Yes indeed. The last time I visited WalMart I noticed that they offer phones and services from most of the MAJOR companies. It's a great place to be able to compare phone services all in one place. They also offer their own prepaid phone service at a LOW, LOW price.
