Louisiana One of Top Ten States Spending Most Money at Walmart

Ever noticed how you can never make a "quick" trip to Walmart.  It's because you can never go in and just pick up that box of shotgun shells or a gallon of milk without running into everyone you know.

It's simple.  We LOVE Walmart!  And unless you've got more money than sense, you've graced your local Walmart a couple times in the last month alone.

And it looks like the whole country knows what we've known for years.  Wally World is king here in the South.

A website called GoBankingRates.com analyzed Walmart sales data from last year to find out which states spend the most per capita.

Here are the results.

1. Oklahoma – $1,662 per person
2. South Dakota – $1,512
3. Arkansas – $1,495
4. Alabama – $1,477
5. Kansas – $1,418
6. Mississippi – $1,395
7. Louisiana – $1,235
8. Missouri – $1,231
9. North Dakota – $1,189
10. Tennessee – $1,126

Hard to believe huh?  Here in Louisiana we're spending an average of over $1,200 per person per year hanging with the Walmartians.  But, who could live without it?
