As Baby-Boomers we still have a lot of clout, and there is a lot of spendable cash to backup that clout.
I use to haunt the CLEARANCE aisle at WalMart, but have noticed recently items are only marked down $.50 or $1.00. I am spending less and less money at WalMart, I am buying more on-line, shipping charges are less than gas.
WalMart just got too full of themselves and forgot about the consumer and their collective power.
