| - Walmart. The One stop for everything shop. You can't go wrong with shopping here, right?
Although some people have a distinct hatred against this store for mass globalization and the eventual complete boringness of a city due to all the local shops dying out because they can't compete. If you have that kind of guilt riding on your purchases, you probably won't use the store much.
Fortunately for Wal-mart, people have mastered ignoring general problems as such. So why then, do people shop at Walmart?
Walmart is suppose to be the king of low-priced wares, but I think in this case (in Madison) they are mostly wrong.
I have found any food here (though small) is generally more expensive than woodmans down the road a couple of blocks, is almost always cheaper. Even it's next door neighbor seems to stay king on it. The same can be said for their "personal care and amenities". You know, that stuff that generally keeps you smelling nice, and healthy stuff.
Clothing is absolutely horrible here. You can tell its cheap/ won't last too long just by looking at it. Although some stuff is okay (underwear!), I would say Avoid most of it. As I side note, I'd like to mention that if you are looking for sweatpants, you can't find them cheaper than here.
This store is also a let down due not being open 24hours. I was under the impression that most are (I could be delusional though!)
Generally the store closes at 11PM. So sorry to all you late night shoppers.
To conclude, Walmart is a great convergent store which you can pretty much find everything you need in a one big plain boring box, but you can usually find cheaper elsewhere at one of our plethora of stores in Madison.
Finally, I want to make a side comment at how ridiculously long this post is... just for a Walmart! Crazy. That's what happens when you get a procrastinating writer on Yelp.
