Yeah, I just loved being gouged by my local stores before they came to town!
To bad that they are one of the few companies truly trying to go green. It does help them make the other green they like.
Disney wants to sell to a mass audience, what good are teen stars (hannah) if the public can't buy their merchandise?

Show me someone who doesn't like Walmart, and I'll show you someone who's broke all the time.

Gouged. Hilarious. Well at least your comfortable supporting a company that sends more money to China than most any other, cares little to nothing about the communities it sells to and in general just has a selfish greedy attitude towards anything. Green? Your messed up.

Don't go to Wal-Mart, not broke here.
Show me someone who likes Wal-mart and I can show you someone who is most likely an ignorant fool. How's that to stir up the pot, even if its not 100% true.
Most definitely croc-offs
I didnt know that my original post would become an ethical debate. My intention was to let all Walmart shoppers know my find. Sorry...

Late reply,
Yes, like I said they are motivated to make profits. Going green helps them reduce the cost of doing business and improves the bottom line.
Being that they are the largest retailer it is only natural that they buy the most stuff from China and many other countries. Are there any companies that don't sell stuff from outside the US?
Gouged? Yes when you can buy a dvd box set for $30-$50 average @ Walmart. Then go to a store in the mall and the same thing is $70-$100 I say that is being gouged.

I'm pretty certain it's not real Disney stuff. They would not allow that.

Thanks for posting about the crocs, it was a nice find.
However, add me to the list of those against both Wal-Mart and crocs. Crocs being the lesser of the two evils. :lol:
Here's a 90 minute film for anyone wanting to dispute the horrors of Wal-Mart. If anyone's interested.

Anything to make that profit. Anything.

It is licensed merchandise like any other apparel. Is ncaa merchandise at stores the same that you can get on campus? Not usually, but again what is the point of cranking out teen stars to a mass young audience if you can't sell the merchandise to them? Disney wants to make money also! If Disney wants to give its approval to everything from toothbrushes to Mac n' Cheese that's what you get.
I hear everyday from people that "I hate Walmart, I'll never come here again." That's great use your power as a consumer and freedom of choice and shop elsewhere, please. But they always come back. They still gripe about everything. When you ask why are you even here? "Because I can get it cheaper here then the other guy down the street."
I have never worn crocs, they just look like big Goofy shoes. Do they make you feet sweaty??

While I am not a "fan" of Wal-Mart I have to admit they do save me quite a bit of money on groceries and basic HBA stuff and in this economy I will do what I have to in order to save some money just in case DH or I don't have a job tomorrow.
As for the "Crocs", they are not really "Crocs". Lots of people use the "Croc" name to describe that type of shoe no matter who the manufacturer is. There are tons of cheap knock offs out there so if you are not buying them at an authorized Crocs retailer (Wal-Mart is not to the best of my knowledge) you are not getting the real thing. I love my Crocs that are the real thing and I really can feel a difference if I try on a pair of the cheap knock offs.

My wife loves crocs and we both love Wal Mart. (not sure if the ones in mention) are "real or not"
Why shop elsewhere and pay more? That kinda goes against basic economics. I work hard for my money and im not spending more than i have to.
We obviously shop elsewhere for specialty items, but for everday things and groceries.....gotta love WalMart.

I couldn't say if they make your feet sweaty because in Louisiana the humidity is so high that everything is sweaty! Sweat can't even work properly here. I wear my Disney crocs with socks if I'm wearing long pants and without socks if with capris. Crocs are kinda Goofy looking, but great to quickly slip on for a quick trip to....:lookaroun.....Wal Mart:lol:It is licensed merchandise like any other apparel.

So I gotta add my 2 cents, I work for walmart...thats right, I work 40 hours a week at a local walmart!! I LOVE WALMART!! not only do I love to shop there since I get 10% off, but I love to wrok there since in these hard times most businesses are going down, where as my walmart has been up in sales for MONTHS!!I recieved a bonus check worth one weeks for the past three months, yes, 100$ extra a month, doesnt seem that much, but when broken down, its great! To have an extra 300 on top of your normal check every 3 months.. pretty good if u ask me! I also shop at walmart for everything except a few groceries. I love my walmart!!! This isnt meant as an advertisement, but truthfully, I bought my daughter a "toy" here, that at Disney, cost her grandmother more than twice... same thing, different character...
:veryconfu:snore:
Utterly ridiculous and sad.
