I have yet to have someone point and laugh at me at the gym saying "HAHA Walmart shopper!"

I work across the street from a Walmart and when I have been in a pinch, and spilled coffee or lunch on a shirt, I have pillaged them for a dress shirt or two. One of my favorite dress shirts came out of the "George" (pronounced Zeorjze) collection.

Then only thing at Walmart that is stupid to buy is shoes, regardless of if you are a brand whore or not. Their shoes are lucky to last a month.
I've never bought a Wal-Mart brand 'dri-fit' type shirt, so I'm not really commenting on those directly, but I have had a couple of cheaper versions and always find that while the material is similar the quality of construction is much worse. I'd rather pay twice as much for something that holds up at least twice as long. I find online shopping gives me the best of both, I picked up 4 or 5 Reebok play-dry (or whatever the hell it is) shirts on hockeyoverstock.com for $5 a pop.
