Can lure me into WalMart. WalMart is now using their Chinese junk as loss leaders for high end items. 3 weeks ago my son was in the market for a new 60" flat screen t.v. While chatting on the phone with him I went on line looking for product reviews and prices....We found a 60" at Best Buy for $1,000. A few days later he went to Best Buy, purchased it and made delivery arrangements...after ascertaining he could cancel the order. Then off to Costco and the WalMart...nothing at Costco interested him, but at WalMart he found the exact same television for $100. more.

I do most of my shopping on line because I drive an 8-year-old gas guzzling SUV...it gets 8 miles to the gallon, now that I'm retired I really don't like to put $40 a week into the tank. While I always check the Amazon site, what I want is not always available there...(the newest models of a product are frequently not available on Amazon). I find I don't mind paying the sales tax when it is collected. I think it is a false comparison to say Amazon with sales tax = WalMart. But I could be wrong.
