Wallyworld is ruthless on the little guy- it's venders, it's employees and mom and pop businesses. I'll stick w purchasing 2$/doz farm fresh eggs

typically all milk around here (midwest) runs about $1.50 - 1.90 gal (on perpetual "sale") (Kroger, Walmart. Kmart, Meijer). Walmart has really stepped up it's game to capture more of the market they were losing to traditional food supermarkets (especially Aldi and Kroger in this area). Milk, egg, bread pricing are still powerful optics to consumers in their decision making process on where to shop. WM had yet another quarter of same store sales growth so their tactics must be working They recently met with their major food vendors to "convince' them to further reduce their wholesale pricing by 15% which is huge in this industry.

Locally they just expanded our Wal-Mart to have the grocery section. Their rotisserie chickens are generally $4.98 nationwide. They're like $6 in the outer LA area (single locale sampled) and at our new store (the only in our county) they are $8.98 plus tax ... hot food is taxed. Shit. Meat and beer prices aren't lower either.

Upshot: here, for now, Wal-Mart is exploiting locally high grocery prices to profit. As soon as their prices go down, I'm gonna watch the health of our 4 other grocery stores in a 2-mile circle. That price reduction would signal the price war, I am guessing.

I live north of Seattle and Wal Mart is killing everyone on grocery prices!
Example: WM sells iceberg lettuce for 99 cents -- all day, every day. Safeway charges $2.50, and Haagen is $3.99!!! (Clearly, they have lost their goddammed minds!)
WM sells name brand brownie mixes for 99 cents. Nothing at the other stores is less than $3.
Meat prices are also great -- and they have better variety, like 50/50 ground beef/pork.
I want to support local businesses but can't afford it...

We live in the country it's 20/30 drive in in any direction to get to Wally world . The area where I work had 3 WM and then one more 5 minutes away from that the price difference between stores is amazing. And the selection is wildly different . If I go to the wrong store I can't get what I need and I have to stop at another. And I don't like their meats, I will make a special trip to a local store for meats. And everything is cheaper than winndixie. Korger has good prices to but not on enough items.

Go to foods co, I never do any grocery shopping at walmart. especially not meats, Shits to expensive. Smaller stores around me have great deals on meat. 10 lb bags of chicken thighs for four dollars. Untrimmed tri tip 3 bucks a lb.. lots of shit, just depends on the specials. All I buy from walmart are shrimp rings, beef jerky and pistachios. Salt and pepper pistachios are pretty bomb.

I'm not a big game hunter but I'm about to go full caddyshack on this little bastard .






About the only thing I grow outside is crab grass , dandelions and other assorted common weeds.

This year I decided to plant giant sunflowers along the fence line.


That little whistlepig has already stripped all the leaves off of 4 of 6 plants and they are not even 3 ft tall yet.

I'm passed being pissed off. I'm so full of rage right now I can't see straight .
