I am not as well informed as I want to be but when I find out a company is doing some reprehensible I try my best to avoid there product(s) and or those store(s). That said the only thing i can mention I am boycotting currently regardless of cost to me is IAMS pet food. This is due to my knowledge of there practices with harm to animals. I know of several trials were limbs were removed to keep the animal imobile and easy to maintain while testing there food and products.
Unfortunately IAMS is part of a larger company that makes many products. Its hard to boycott all companies or stores that do things unethically.
As for wal-mart its simply a money thing for me. I get most of my supplies elsewhere but sometimes no one can beat there prices and I am on a fixed budget because of disability so I can't afford to buy only at hte mom and pop stores though I do purchase there as well.
