Why don’t people use their power as consumers and stop shopping there? I have never understood why people let large companies walk all over them. Get organised and get even!
If Wal-mart is the cheapest retailer around you and you make $15-$20,000 a year, they are basically your only option for everyday household goods. Even if you are saving $20 per month, that's $20. Or perhaps you get more food that way.
Where I was at in the states, it was the cheapest place. We did have Aldi in some areas, but one couldn't buy everything there and the opening hours weren't great. Some areas didn't have this option either. (You can survive on food at aldi, but aren't going to find underwear and bras there either. Not to mention the lack of name-brand soaps if you had sensitive skin).
