I know, I am paying for the "atmosphere".

I have heard though, and not on Snopes, that Wal Mart does inject their meat with salt water to increase the weight when charging by the oz/lb.

A lot of places do that, or the meat comes that way. Read the fine print on those cooked hams. It's hard to find processed meat that doesn't have "... water added."

I realize that all meat is labeled as watered added I have just heard Wal Mart does more than usual to increase profit margin. Oh well, not trying to fight, I am in vacation mode.....................

Sorry, didn't mean to offend you. :confused:
I wonder if you're right about WalMart. Wouldn't be surprised.
Enjoy your vacation! :)

I regularly shop at Target (I refuse to use walmart ... every time I go there I end up angry for some reason or another .. Target is better for my blood pressure). I haven't found their prices to be radically different than Wal-mart .. In most cases, the difference can be measured by a penny or two (for brand names, of course, not generic).
