Well, where else are we going to go for better deals most of the time? We're nearly a captive audience.  Unfortunately, if it's the fact that they helped kill off American manufacturing of everyday consumer goods that's bugging you, it's not going to make a difference where you shop.  I could have sworn Victor Kiam boa...more
