Better yet, avoid these stores completely, or at least to whatever degree you can. Stop grocery shopping at the Wal Mart Supercenter. It's killed so many grocery stores already. Find a local small grocer, or even a local/regional chain, and shop there instead. Go to the Mom & Pop hardware store instead of the national big box if you need fasteners or a hacksaw blade or some schedule 40, and buy your lumber from a lumberyard - there are plenty still out there, and they want your business, and they employ your neighbors.
Wal Mart, Home Depot, whatever - these shouldn't be where you're going as your first choice to buy things, they should be where you go when you can't find something anywhere else.
