Just regular Wal-Marts, my old home of TN had nothing but Super Wal-Marts,
but here in CA it seems that they don't build 'em that way.  Only one in my
area is even 24 hour, which hurts my ability to sweep a shelf since I sleep
at night :)  In Wal-Mart-speak, Super usually means that they stay open 24
hours and sell a full line of food.  There are two in my area (wide range)
that I could call Super, but my best deals rarely come from these.
