They have already raised prices on some of their lower end ‘Great Value’ food products so they are more expensive than the trusted name brands.
Ah seed it wif mah own ize! 👀
Long gone are the days of WM being the great value store. Gone with Sam.
What ticks me off is HEB. Prices are determined by which of their signs is nailed to their front door. The wealthy customers will gravitate to a Central Market sign. The middle class and one store rural areas shop the HEB sign at the front door. The low income customers will shop Mi Tienda and Joe V’s. Never mind they all carry the same exact labeled items, the Mi Tienda are priced lower. Why? Why should the regular customers at HEB have to pay exactly 50% more for the very same labeled HEB canned corn than customers at Joe V’s?
HEB also has those and an Economax store sign in Mexico. Odd how they’ve stopped having the cheap Economax labels in the US. Odd, too, are their “made in San Antonio, TX” when there is no way everything can’t possibly be made in San Antonio especially when they have farms and factories in Mexico. Well, they were decades ahead of the tariffs on that one sneaking around them somehow. More oddities is they pull products off the shelves when there are other companies’ coupons out that week. Doesn’t matter if the coupon is for a perishable item like Yoplait yogurt, off the shelf is comes. There are a thousand reasons I don’t shop there anymore so it is Wally World for us since it is just those two grocery stores in the county.
I have also. Not much difference in the price of Walmart brands and name brands. If the name brand is just a few cents more, I’m going to buy the name brand.
I do love their house brand Chicken and Dumplings soup, which is almost half the name brand price and just as good. I eat at least 2 cans a week.
