What to buy and what not to buy....what do you think about the list? Have you made any of the mistakes of buying anything from the "what not to buy..." section?

I've never bought anything off the what not to buy list lol

All the stuff on the not to buy list I would never even consider going to Wal Mart for. I either get it online or go to Best Buy.

DAMN IT. I just bought a bookcase from there bc it was only $25 in stead of the $100 that I would spend else where. Yay for me! I fail.

I learned a long time ago not to buy anything like that from there. I learned the hard way as well.

I don't buy fancy stuff from them. But I do use them as leverage when I get something from Best Buy. Got me a 160GB video iPod at Best Buy for 250 bucks plus tax, saw it 30 bucks cheaper at Wal-Mart, got price match at Best Buy, so with tax, I paid 240 bucks for a new iPod, and I sold my old one for a c-note

I used to work at wal-mart, so I got 10% off everything...I saved 100 bucks on a TV.

10%?!! That's it?? Most retail employees get stuff for cost +5% or cost + 10%, but not just 10% off. Thats half the reason to work in retail, like best buy.
