do you say "walmart" or walmarts"
is this a regional thing? here in texas we say "walmart" but my friend from virginia says "walmarts".
I have to go to walmarts. I bought it at walmarts.11% gross to retirement
10% takehome to tithe and offerings
emergency fund maintained at 3000(works for me)
credit card debt 7500
mortgage free
freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow
then live on the rest!
i am trying something new. LDS church advises savings or debt repayment should be the same as the tithe. 10% each.

I just say "I bought it at Walmart." But I wonder if people who are adding an S are thinking of it with an apostrophe... like "Walmart's". I guess that could make sense... kinda like I bought it at "Johnson's Hardware"?

But whe I do say where I'm going, it's Walmart. That's from an Ohioan.______

I'm from Ontario, and everyone I've ever heard say it says "Wal-Mart". You should ask your friend where the 's' is in the word.
