You want to pay high prices while everyone else pays low prices? Go
ahead and be a Wal-Martyr if you want.
If you do most of your grocery shopping at Wal Mart, have you ever taken the
register tape to a real supermarket and compared the prices, being sure to
average them over a 4-6 week period? If you try it, be sure to compare
equivalent items, meaning specific brands. And, you can't compare meat
because WM sells inferior quality stuff and treats them with a chemical
that's clearly marked on the label. Stick with packaged stuff and dairy.
You'll never go back to WM if you do this.
Nonsense.
Shopping for groceries at WM, ex-meat (which I do not buy there); all
packaged products from major manufacturers - the same as in any other store
- saves me EASILY $20 weekly on groceries.
And to get within that $20 at the local grocer, I have to use my "reward
card" and let them link my purchase to my name, address and phone number.
If I don't use the card the difference is more like $30 weekly.

You miss the point. Sure, you can get groceries at wally-world a bit
cheaper..... and we've noticed this with seafood.... they'll beat
the local market, pricewise, but they can't come close with respect to
freshness.
If your only criteria is money, wally-world is your best choice. If
you really care what the food tastes like..... you *can* do better.
Your choice.
