And don't shop at Wal-Mart. They do have low prices, but you can get even lower prices at Winco. We are all aware of their borderline monopoly tactics, but they also have poor employee treatment practices. They do everything they can to short people on hours so as not to have to pay benefits, and they are being sued by several people right now for sexual discrimination issues. Add that up to the fact that their goods are produced in sweatshops, and the low prices don't really seem to be worth it. It's really difficult to boycott every single business that doesn't act as you want them to, but every little bit helps. I'm a poor college student but I still refuse to shop there- just go to Winco or clip coupons if you want to save money.
