Should Have Known Better Than To Buy A Watermelon At Wal-Mart Earlier This Week…

Was going to have it tonight after dinner and it has a big white spot on it…already bad. It was firm with a greenish stem on it when I got it and didn’t leave it in a hot car either, it’s near the a/c vent in the living room. They had put them on “sale” but they probably knew they were going bad.

Gotta watch dates there too, we just trashed a couple things because of experation dates, one wasn't even opened yet!!!
Pay close attention, though that wouldnt work in your case

There are things to know when choosing one. At Kroger, most of the canned fruit comes from China and I will not buy it.

I've had issues with WM's fresh produce too. Aldi puts some of their produce in chillers and that ruins many fruits and veggies. Winco is my go-to grocery store.

@Crazywaterspring the produce is mostly good at Winco. Lately Aldi has had some nasty looking broccoli for sale. It is starting to yellow about half the time.

my WalMart has the best watermelons around here. you gotta know how to pick them

@Penny I used to work at the store where I bought this one. I think it’s because the manager waits till stuff starts to get bad, then he marks them down. I should have known better. I usually shop at the other ones but this one is near my house.

Perishables from Walfart tend to go bad pretty quick. fruits and vegetables, and milk, always go bad too fast.

One thing I do love from there though is the pork steaks they sell. I prefer pork over beef.
But yeah I use this teriaki sauce on them after cooking, let it simmer real low, turns out great.
I just bought one today.
With the onset of monsoon, we stop buying WM.

I hate when that happens. It's also a hit and miss when I buy avocados and pineapples.

@Azlotto and bananas are a crap shoot too…buy them green and they either ripen quickly or take 3 weeks. I think some of them are actually plantains that have been mislabeled.

I stopped going bread is stale as soon as you open it

@Lilnonames I get bread at Aldi or Winco and they are good for a lot longer than what Walmart sells. Pitiful that a corporation that big does this stuff. Their store brands of things like canned fruit & veggies don’t measure up in quality to Aldi’s store brands. I found that out with peas, peaches and fruit cocktail. And their GV brand of pasta in boxes is short in weight of what they claim and you can weigh it on different scales and come up short, including their produce scales. Weigh it in the box (the box is not supposed to be included in the weight) and it is still less than what they show on the boxes. I’ve done it with several boxes after reading what a woman posted on another site.
