[QUOTE="sano, post: 534612, member: 8689"] I agree with your point that your money was better spent at your local hardware than at a big box. However, In my experience Wal-Mart is actually quite generous in their local communities. In the small town I used to live in the Wal-Mart was one of the most dependable source of funding for local charities. Not real big donations but 1-2k per year to the local chapters of Habitat, Lions, Rotary, Food Pantry, Make a wish etc. Again I agree with your point. The other consideration is with some products Wal-Mart pushes the manufacture so hard on price that they need to cheapen the product to meet the price point that Wal-Mart needs. That wheelbarrow may in fact not have been the same. Could have been cheaper steel or lighter bearings or cheaper in some other way. [/QUOTE]
