    ....and the next time you are in Wally World, just check to see if you are really getting a better price. I'm starting to find, locally at least, that many of their prices exceed the local stores plus are made even more cheaply then the Chinese crap that the mom and pop stores are now forced to sell to remain close to competitive

    I still challenge everyone to name one item (currently made..not Ming vases) made in China that is known for its quality. If you go to China and watch them cook, you would never want to eat Chinese food again!!

    IF (and only if) an American company set up operations in China AND controlled the QC, the product might include quality.... any more, you look at the "name" brand and cant tell if it is made in the USA still. Go try to buy an American flag.... China.

    look in a gun value book in the Winchester Rifle section. you will see a Wal Mart specific listing, of lower value. all non wal mart brand clothing they sell are irregulars. The electronic components that are put into the Wal Mart electronics are from a cheaper source. I bought an RCA 5 disc changer a few years ago, returned 4 of them b4 I got 1 that worked right.. when I replaced that 1 last year, the cd player didn't work quite right, but I never bothered taking it back... some stuff is not made cheaper but most is. My mom works at walmart so I know what is and isn't
    You don't know what you've got til it's gone

    "Chinese irregulars" is a double saying.

    Kinda like when Jay Leno was talking about foreign ripoffs of GM parts.....he asked "if there was a crappy ripoff part for a GEO Metro, wouldnt they have used it at the factory?"

    Years ago I bought a new Mercury Cougar because I wanted to buy an American car. Found out the body came from Canada and the engine had Mexico stamped all over it. Engine fried at 20,000 miles. I told the Ford Rep that I thought I had bought an American car........his comment, "Where have you been Buddy, nothing is made here any more!"
