if you want cheap, go to dollar general, dollar tree or family dollar. they really benefit the less fortunate (in US).
in terms of cheap foodstuffs, if anything, i think it just nationalizes the grocery market. we pay the same in farmville as they pay in christiansburg and richmond. is that good or bad?

Now this is is an interesting proposition.
Personally I have seen some price differences between Christiansburg and South Carolina Wal-Marts. If these are significant is an emprical question whatever the hell that means. I am willing to bet that a Blacksburg Wal-Mart would have different prices than the Christiansburg Wal-mart, but I might be wrong. I think the Dayton and Harrisonburg Wal-Marts had some differences. But I don't know. But if it is good or bad is an interesting question that I have no answer to.
The "Dollar" stores are certainly poverty reducing in the U.S.
