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.

Will they send someone down the road to the real supermarket to bring
you
back some edible lettuce? :-)



What's with some peoples obsession for wal-mart and produce? Not every
wal-mart is a supercenter that sells groceries, why not concentrate on the
items that they ALL sell?

I focus on groceries because that's what gets people in WM's door in many
cases. Speaking only for myself, I only buy two categories of goods EVERY
week: Food and gasoline. How often does one need clothing.

If the consumer gives all her grocery business to WM, she may be
unpleasantly surprised at some point in the future when the other grocers
vanish from the neighborhood. This is unlikely in larger markets, but
inevitable in smaller ones. Then, when you need to speak to an actual
butcher for advice on a special cut of meat, you'll instead get a typical WM
response from an associate: "I dunno....maybe one of them beefs over there
next to the chicken".
