I buy non-grocery items there. The ones that typically get marked up at the grocery stores: cat food, cat litter, and bird seed mostly and the occasional book.

LOL. I've been shopping for a new pair of trail-runners for WEEKS. I wear US 13 wides, and have not had any luck at the shoe-stores, so I checked out Walmart and they had a pair that was passable, so I got them. Within two weeks the tongue fell out of one, and within a month or so the soles are almost wore out. That's what $25 gets you.

I wouldn't buy their brand - Spring Valley, I think. I read a report where they tested different supplements from different stores and found that in many cases they didn't contain what they said. I remember Walmart and GNC were specified as two of the worst offenders. If you want to be certain of what you are getting, go with brands that are independently certified, such as Nature Made or Kirkland (Costco brand).

It's funny that somehow we have been duped into thinking Amazon is somehow cheaper. Sure, it's convenient, they have practically everything and you can get it delivered for free if you're a prime member (and you're buying directly from them), but unless you are just shopping the daily deals, it really isn't any cheaper. But we tend to collectively think that it is.
