I would like for the walmart here in Monroe, NC to carry powdered butter, powdered cheese and dehydrated stuff. I think a lot of people would purchase it. This walmart doesn’t yet sell grains in bulk but is starting to have larger bags of stuff like rice, beans and sugar. I have to go out of my way to go to Sam’s or Costco. It isn’t fair to the consumers. Thanks
