I guess Wal-mart is falling on hard times. The business report for
sales
on
Friday for the Country was an amazing $7.5 Billion. A record. Wal-mart
only took in $1.5 Billion is sales. About 1/7 of all the Xmas shopping
done
the day after Thanksgiving.

I'm not disputing the fact that they sell a lot. I'm saying that for many
products, they are NOT cheaper. They've just created an image. Tell me
this:
Faced with a 5 mile commercial strip packed with weekend traffic, are you
going to go back and forth between WM and two supermarkets to determine
whether you're getting the best prices? Of course not. This is what WM
counts on.

Around here, WalMarts will match any price of any product advertised by any
other store with exceptions of coupons or buy 1 get 1 free items. Most of
the time they will match the "special card" prices also.
