Well, I won't shop at WM, so my alternative to Roses is usually K-Mart when I'm in the Big City. All of the closer K-Marts closed down one-by-one until all are gone here. As for shoes, I used to be able to get nice, business quality shoes in wide sizes at L.L. Bean, but they have dropped all of those types of shoes in wide sizes long ago. Good thing I have no need for those types of shoes any longer. Plus I tend to take care of things, so in a pinch I've still got a few pairs of the wider, nicer stuff in the closet just in case. At least Bean still carries their boots and hiking shoes in wide sizes, so I keep buying those. Quality and fit is worth the extra price. If I have a need for cheap shoes for yard work, I've sometimes gone the PayLess men's shoes route, especially if I can find something during their buy one, get another half price sales. Those regular men's shoes are wide enough to be comfortable and cheap enough that when they fall apart or get encrusted with mud, I don't care much. I used to have problems finding wide shoes in the nicer stores too. I got *so* tired of the salesperson trying to shove my poor feet into a half-size larger (because they didn't have anything but A and B widths) like length would make up for width. It's obvious there is a market out there needing the wider sizes in good quality shoes, so why are none of the stores meeting it? The "nicer" stores all seem to be in love with designer shoes which *never* come in anything but narrow sizes and are horribly over-priced for what they are.

Panties are first quality, no seconds, and they stock large sizes and different colors as well. I'm not sure if have cotton panties or not, but probably do. The good thing about their panties is they are half-price of what the frou-frou department stores charge. Bras, Wrangler blue jeans, sweatpants, T shirts, too. Both men and women's apparel. |

It's easier and cheaper to shop for bras at Ross' than either Walmart or Kohl's. -- Cheers, Bev Cthulhu for President in 2020. Why vote for a lesser evil? |
