super walmart: everything but the spores

so just a tip for anybody who might not realize, but if you have a "super walmart" in your area (the kind with the grocery store built in), they have freeking everything you need... we just had a new one open near by so i was picking up some items last night and walking around saw all the following:
brf, verm, perlite, every size and shape mason jar you could ever imagine, karo, honey, rubbermaids, aquarium heaters, air pumps and hoses/bubble wands/accessories, all kinds of glues/silicone/tapes/etc, foil, polyfill, coffee filters, bird seed, pressure cookers, cleaning products, coco coir, other casing materials, misc hardware, temp/humidity sensors, hepa filters, lights and timers... probably lots more im forgetting...
never was a fan of walmart for lotsa reasons, but if i were starting a pf tek/TiT/PmP grow from scratch i could walk in there and come out with 100% of everything i needed (with the exception of a spore syringe) in about 20 minutes time...
and to think of all the driving and searching i did to track down everything in the beginning...
maybe they'll start carrying spore syringes soon?

Some wal-marts are hit and miss with a few of these items. My local super wal-mart doesn't have coco coir, for instance. I normally have to pick it up at the Pet Smart.
I've read mention of people finding cheap horse manure at Wal-mart. What section is this in?
-------------------- The sun was pulling cheap shots doing commercial body tricks, Behind the back, Under the leg, I think he even did a headspin, On a crossfader that sounded whack, But looked excellent, All of the sudden it gets dim, The crater face steps in, Puts mexican drumbreaks on the Technics, He's like "Let's begin", He conducted an orchestra so dope the sun started sweatin' him, I guess he'd expected to win on pure artistic merit, Composing complex plays with nothin but soundbytes, Burned out the lights, Made MCs too self conscious quit the master mics, For a thousand nights, It continued without a single slip up, Except once the record skipped, But it kinda sounded cool.

with the baking supplies, near sugar and flour and that stuff. karo is a brand name for corn syrup, any light (yellow in color, not the dark stuff) corn syrup will do ya, with or without vanilla flavoring as it sometimes has, doesn't matter. the store brand at another local grocery store works just fine, and i saved 50 cents

If the store carries it, it will be right below (not as popular as) the imitation pancake syrups.
Hehe, my trigger finger must be getting slower.

Fuck wal-mart, don't support their bullshit. We have pay for their employee's healthcare, housing, welfare, etc; because they're capitalist swine. Their products are crap anyway. You save more in the long run buying your stuff from reputable sources.

i agree fuck wal mart heres how to fuck over their ass (i dont condone stealing its very negative but they fuck us over daily)
The answer lies in wal-marts faulty return policy i love shrooms and shroom growers and i love this site so hear it goes........
This is how i got my pressure cooker you'll have to first buy $40 dollar pressure cooker (don't worry you'll get it back) the next day go back to wal-mart when its busy without the box but with the pressure cooker and the packaging info go up to customer service when its busy the busier the better and say remember to look innocent and very nice "yeah id like to return this i apologize i threw away the box blah blah blah..) they'll say "OK we can give in store credit but we need your id and a its box to scan" very politely and casually interrupt and say "OK ill go back and grab one" since they're so busy they wont mind at all, go back to the PC isle and grab a more expensive PC don't worry they usually never notice plus its busy so they wanna hurry things along. I grabbed one that was exactly the same in every way but was stainless steel and like 30 more bucks. Bring it back they'll scan it and you get your in store credit and if your not ahead enough yet to buy another PC and have your money you started with go to another wal-mart and do the same thing (by the way if u need cash and all you got is your stupid wal-mart money buy something and return it your allowed 3 non receipt CASH returns a year and if you've done this a lot use a friends id"
we ate for weeks this way and got free shit, we never pay for grains or jars when they're in season we just return shit and use each others ids

Wow! This has progressed totally beyond a cultivation subject, but before this thread gets closed, I'll toss in my penny.
We have a declaration that Walmart is capitalist swine for paying employee benefits (????), a happy employee, and a formula for stealing from them since they are thieves themselves. Jabba the Hut, who just retired from Exxon, is taking 400 million of our dollars with him, but Walmart, who is offering items from the world marketplace at very competitive prices should be penalized in favor of paying higher prices to reputable retailers that don't pay employee benefits? And, since they are saving us money, it's okay to steal from them? This may be a pirate site in a way, but pillaging isn't condoned. Raping depends on circumstance.

yeah fuck walmart fuck everyone who works at walmart bla bla bla bla bla....
What good is it going to do for a few people even a few thousand people to boycott walmart? Not going to do much good. If you are so worried about the starving ppl of the world do something about it. Don't bitch to walmart about it.

My grandma, who is on a fixed income, praises that walmart came to her neck of the woods (rural montana). Before she had to pay whatever prices her local retailers demanded from their customers. They were able to do this because their was no competition.
That said, walmart is easily able to take customers from small businesses. Some of which, I participate in.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that all truth is relative.

yup yup exactly... walmart single-handedly helps hold down inflation rates as well. the labor practices sometimes arent the best but they're better than others, and they're a lot better than no labor at all... yeah i care about the kids in sweatshops overseas making the stuff and maybe it makes me a dick but its not gonna stop me from buying it. i care more about the people here in my own country more, like yer grandma (who's damn fine if i might add.. hahah)
but anyway i was just tryin to hook folks up with verm & jars and the like not start a social debate

The problem is that walmart will use their huge wealth to sell products at below cost when it opens a new store in rural montana. Once all the competition is gone, up go the prices. Now you have high prices, no jobs, no health insurance, and no competition. Boycott walmart please. Don't steal, because stealing is wrong. Just boycott. RR
