Indeed, the retailer offers a wide selection ofdelicious and nutritious foodsto choose from at a great value.
But, is there such a thing astooaffordable?
The upside is that Walmart prices often beat out the competition.

The downside is…well, the produce isn’t very good.
In a recent Facebook poll byEat This, Not That!
to determine the worst grocery chains for produce, Walmart got the most votes.

In this case, winning is losing.
Get the same salad at another grocery store, still fine a week after expiration."
Whatever the reason, you’re probably better off looking for your fruits and veggies at another discount grocer.
Walmart
The store brand’s peanut butter isn’t anywhere near the top of customers' lists.
What’s up with that?
“wrote one shopperon the retailer’s website.

“Kinda worries me because I am not sure what’s making it stink.
A couple of years ago, I only smelled peanuts after opening the jar.
HMMM…”
If you need more evidence, just read the label.

But does Walmart come close?
Nopefar from it, customers say.
“The rotisserie chicken is often bloody and rare or raw in the middle.

It’s always hit and miss,” wrote one customer.
People don’t have many good things to say about the Walmart salmon, for instance.
It was VERY ROTTEN, with a little color added.
Walmart
Twice by delivery, one by in store.
My fault for trying 3 times!
“wrote one reviewer.
Aside from the freshness factor, there are also concerns about the unsustainable farming practices by Walmart’s suppliers.
Beef & Poultry
Meat is a staplein many Americans' diets.
“This product is not at all edible!
“one customer wroteabout the store brand’s boneless, skinless chicken breast.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!
Great value’s quality has gone way down!!!!!”
“We arrived at home to notice that [the] meat expiration was the next day.
We decided to plan accordingly.
When I took it out of the refrigerator at 3:30 to cook it was disturbingly gray in color!
“complained one customer.
How is this possible?”
Some packages of beef even appeared to be missing a marked expiration date altogether.
These meat misgivings occur frequently enough to give Walmart a bad reputation in the beef and poultry categories.
Don’t ever buy it from any Walmart anywhere.”
“The old version was [delicious].
This is gross and has that store bought flavor.
Can’t ever determine what ingredient causes this in any of them.
The potatoes weren’t cooked fully,“wrote one shopper.
Got one serving out of [the] container and didn’t even finish it.
Guess i’ll pay the extra $5 for Resers potato salad going forward.”
