Bed and Bath items from Walmart

When we moved into our current apartment back in May of 2011, we bought decorative bathroom towels, matching bath mats and a bed set at Walmart.  We chose their Canopy brand because we thought it was supposed to be better quality.  Shannon chose the colors of course -- he loves blue, so it's in a light blue color.  Our towels are gold/yellow color. 

We soon found out that Walmart bed and bath products do not last.  Our towels started unraveling, losing it's shape, and shrinking after a few months!  Our sheets are okay but the bedspread slowly started beading up and making a lot of fuzz balls!  We were forced to wash our bedspread for the first time since May and I can only imagine how it will look when it's washed and dried. 

Since we finally saw how low quality Walmart stuff is, Shannon and I have decided to buy any future things at a department store.  We've been buying our clothes at JC Penney and I just purchased a new bedspread at JC Penney as well.  I am tired of my clothes unraveling, losing it's shape, etc after only a few months. 

I also plan on buying Kyle's clothes and shoes from a department store.

    I was also going to mention that I bought some towels from Walmart and they didn't last but I took them back and got the ones that are one price higher and they seem to be holding up. I have found that at several stores the items are not lasting like they used to. I have some panties from Victoria secret that I bought years ago and they are still in wonderful shape but I bought five new pairs this July and they have all lost their shape, elastic, and color. I had to toss them all! I love JC Penney towels too. I wait and get the $10 off $10 purchase coupons and get two towels for free!

    I agree. Some things are really poor quality.

    Following you from the blog hop. Totally agree on Walmart low quality. Same goes for Old Navy. You get what you pay for.
