Used to go when I lived near one for the Lindt chocolate bars. $1 or more cheaper per bar than the Safeway.
Now, it's a two hour trip to the nearest one, I'm usually too busy when up in that town to drive down to the Wal-mart end, and we now have a Grocery Outlet that sometimes has the chocolate bars even cheaper than Wally's.
It was convenient to stop there too, at 10pm or so on the way home from visiting friends, and I lived 30 miles from any other store and they weren't open that late anyway.
Not a factor in my life now.
For all I know, it may be 30 years before I set foot in one again.
