Why Do Enthusiasts Hate Walmart Products?

I don't shop at Walmart much, but I buy my oil and filters there. The price is by far the best around here.

Yep, everyday low prices.

Sometimes I get lucky and find a crazy deal on clearance oil at AAP or AutoZone, but that’s rare.

Most routing numbers are publicly available. For example if you used Bank of America and needed a routing number to order more checks you would use 081000032.

Made a mistake. Should have said account number. I've heard some e-check sites actually send your check with the original account number. Checked that on my credit union account to make sure that was not the case.

I started using Castrol 5W40 in my mom's Fusion 2.0EB. It takes 5.7qt, so 6 to fill. I found 3 5qt and 3 1qt bottles at the last WalMart trip for significantly less than anywhere else. The filter price difference for a FL-910S is minimal comparing WalMart to the employee price at work. I just wish the ones by us still carried ammo, actually scratch that, my bank account is happier that way.

Local small town Walmart just totally remodeled the whole store. New pick up area that they put a new door on the side of building to make it easier to get to vehicles etc. This is the best I've ever seen this Walmart. Even brought in more of tools & now carry air compressor, vacuums, etc. Heck, even the discount isle had a Ninja ice cream blender for $75 the wife just picked up. I'm sure everyone that doesn't like Walmart has their own reasons to not shop there but in my neck of the woods you'd go hungry b/c they're the only game in town. So, those types must have other channels for goods.

I drink Wal-Mart's "Great Value" decaffeinated coffee. It's not nearly as bad as you'd think it is... LOL.

And I get a 2 pound can of it, for what some people pay for one grande cup of whatever at $tarbuck$.

Not a huge Walmart fan but their Our Finest coffee is serious quality stuff. I drank it for years.

I don’t really go to Walmart, but if I’m there I always visit the oil section. In my area, however, the selection is not great.
I was there just last weekend and after seeing the poor selection, I went on their website while I was still in the store. Sure enough they had Havoline high mileage synthetic in the 6 quart eco container for $20 and free shipping. I like these since my Grand Caravan takes exactly 6 quarts. Ordered two containers.

That’s why I hardly ever visit their stores. Their online selection is often a lot better.

My problem with Walmart is the shopping experience, but last time I stopped in I was kinda impressed. Store was cleaner than I remember and I was able to check out quickly.

Depending on your city or location, you might have to go shopping in the morning before the locals wake up around 11am.
