" Blue Light Special" , there are many ways the ad people will work the buyer where ever you shop. WallMart has done a good job of converting a lot of people that it would be sinful to shop anywhere else. Thats every retailers dream , don't shop the price just buy it !
Nonsense. I compare Wal Mart prices on commodity items (the stuff P&G makes, Henkel makes (Dial, Purex), Mouthwashes, toothpastes, etc..the stuff where there are not store distinct skus, to other stores..such as Target,KMart, Kroger, Publix, and, in aggregate, the Wal Mart prices are far lower.


If short on time, I'll waste some money and buy some of these at one of the others, but it always costs me more per unit, and none of these products are made differently for any customer.

PS: Liberals can now cry. I realize this truth hurts you.

I am in favor of everyday low pricing, and allowing retailers to battle freely for the purpose of getting the privilege of my business.

In the pre Wal Mart era, manufacturers obtained outrageously high margins with retailers, and consumers paid that price. That era, Thank the Free Market, is over. Now they must consistently improve or they will, like the Dinosaur, become extinct, and they would have EARNED that fate. Boo Hoo.

- Americans prefer quantity over quality
So rather buy a $10 shirt that lasts 5 washes instead of purchasing a $20 shirt that lasts 20 washes

This allows Wal-Mart to focus on simply undercutting the competition. Eventually weeding out all competition. How is this made possible? By mistreating/under paying their employees

They will never admit it, but liberals are simply proxies for the SEIU when it comes to Wal Mart. They want to extort dues from 1.5 million people, and they would not change the wage structure of retail, as it has always been low wages for low skill sets.

They would simply reduce the take home pay of 1.5 million Americans.

LOL! Wal Mart's clothing department is not a big part of their business. Things like P&G products are a big chunk of WM. Nice try at spin, though., unless you can logically tell us why we should pay more for commodity products with the same exact SKUS being sold at many different retailers and grocers.

Then why did Wal-Mart fail in Germany? Almost everything in Wal-Mart is of lesser quality
