I'm sorry but they have by far the best selection of Cool-aid. I know this sounds like a joke, but it's not - I drink cool-aid around the house and they have the most different flavors and stuff.

In fairness I usually only buy between 5-6 bucks worth of cool-aid and then don't shop there the rest of the time - oh occasionally if I am on the road and need something in an emergency and cant find a Target or a Drugstore end up shopping there too.

I avoid Wal-Mart and I haven't purchased Kool-Aid in years, but I remember it fondly from childhood, when I used to make it all the time when I got home from school. After reading your post, I looked at the Kool-Aid website and found a whole menu of recipes! I may just pick up some packets the next time I go shopping. My sister-in-law, who is a wool artisan and often dyes her own wool with natural dyes that she makes from marigold petals, walnut shells, etc., once knit some socks from wool she had dyed with Kool-Aid. They were certainly cheerful and bright!

in the summer. It's time to buy some. I thank you for shopping at WalMart because my husband and son work there and they need the job. I wish people would realize that employees have families also. Many don't like the management but it's not like you can find a job just any place. So thank you again for shopping at WalMart.

that I am fortunate to have other options. I have no criticism for those who have no such options)

I would not care if they were GIVING that crap away. they could not even pay me to take it.

At $9 per box of 50 no one else can beat the price.

they all do this> walmart and target are the same thing.

I've got family and friends that work at walmart, should I put them out of a job? they have almost part time jobs, most about 32 hours a week, but even that has been in steady decline. Now 24 or less.

aren't hurting the corporation. They are hurting the employees who work there because they can't find good paying jobs any place else. WalMart happens to be one of the biggest employment places in our rural town. Many of the mom and pop places are closed down.
