I hate Walmart.
Yet, I probably purchase most of our stuff there. Why? Affordability, of course.
Here in Richmond, we have our local grocery chain, called Ukrops. I would absolutely love to do my shopping there exclusively. But alas, I can't. I tried, for a while, but it just wasn't financially possible.
I a lot of other stuff second hand. Goodwill is my favorite. I know that there are stores that have better prices, but they are further away. I do have however two Goodwill shops fairly close by, so I can make it a habit to drop in and check things out.
I pretty much buy all children's clothing there. And I have so far bought most of my pregnancy stuff there. I also buy misc household items.
Yard sales don't really work for me. Too much planning and too much driving around. I know two fairly well off neighborhoods that have neighborhood yard sales, and I do try to go there, but I just would not sacrifice every Saturday for driving around many miles to hit several single family yard sales.
I have tried Craigslist too, but unfortunately made a few too many bad experiences...
