Walmart shelves empty.

I'm not a regular Walmart shopper. I won't get in to the reasons why. I also have been avoiding nearly EVERYTHING made in China for well over 20 years. I don't accept people's lame excuses that "I can't find things not made in China" because I've done it for a long time. You only have to buy crappy stuff if you want to buy crappy stuff.

But the other day I went in to a Walmart (I mentioned upthread that it was pretty much fully stocked, and all the grocery stores I've been to over the past couple months have always been fully stocked).

I bought a few supplies, and NONE of it was made in China. I bought a few odd pieces of Corelle dishes, because, well, they actually DO break. They're still made in the USA. I bought some Pyrex baking dishes that are also made in the USA. I bought some disinfecting wipes, they were made in the USA. I bought a Lodge grill pan (since I didn't have a square one). Picked up some fruit pies that we actually surprisingly good for store-bought pies. They weren't frozen. I got peach, blueberry and sweet potato. All were from the US except the peach was strangely made in Canada.

So, I don't believe it's necessarily Walmart's fault for pushing cheap made-in-China junk, it's you consumers who want the cheapest crappiest stuff and you're buying it, so Walmart's just giving it to you. A savvy shopper can buy things at Walmart and avoid China.

p.s. I bought this stuff because we were having a bunch of people over from shut-down areas so we could barbecue and watch the fireworks on Independence Day.

Try and find 26 inch bicycle tubes or tires right now. I wanted to pick some up for spares after reading this thread. Zero.
