The Wal-Marts here and in Tucson said they were going to start buying
produce locally....I don't know if they have or not...will have to check it
out the next time I go. I got my last prescriptions there, because the
pharmacy I usually go to didn't have one of my pills in stock and I was out.
I liked it when Wal-Mart carried JMS jeans in plus petites....they don't
have them now , I don't care for the White Stag fit. When I noticed the pick
of JMS was disappearing we went to a big Wal-Mart in Phoenix ,when we
visited my son in Scottsdale. I bought a whole bunch of the different
colors....they are a bit worn now
