"Get your s___ and get out!"
You can only reduce so far.
Target has always been a rip-off. Learned that 30 years ago.
All so tempting! Food from Walmart, Dollar General, or Target!
Don't forget Target's trans woke policies turning off many shoppers. They went woke and went broke. Believe it or not, lots of women don't want to be preached at to share restrooms with men, and Target was one of the first to do so.
The price of meat at Walmart’s near us are TERRIBLE compared to every other grocery store. And its not even close.
Everything else is cheaper...but their meat section sucks.
During the four years of the Joe Pedo race riot, the U.S. got 20 million more Walmart Shoppers. Show me the moron who never thought the prices of everything wouldn’t go up.
Walmart for groceries?!
They have Walmart only SKUs to get around price competition. So, that Jack Link’s beef jerky might seem cheaper, until you look and find it is one half-ounce lighter. The Red Rose tea bags have the same number, but are missing the individual paper wrappers to maintain freshness.
The produce is pre-weighed, and frankly, is no bargain.
They have had as much inflation as anyone else. Those little 50 cent blueberry pies are now 85 cents.
Where you are Diana, Woodman’s is generally as a good a deal or better.
Where I am, Winco, American Discount Foods (for REALLY crazy closeouts), Smart & Final, and loss leaders/Clearance at Fry’s (Kroger) and Safeway/Albertson’s. Avocados at the Mexican “Food City”.
Clothing has shot up a lot at Walmart, probably because of the tariffs.
Clothing could be made on automated equipment.
Amazon should probably develop standard clothing and shoe patterns.
If I know an 8W3 shoe and a 14N1 shirt will fit, I could buy with confidence.
We’ve always shipped primarily at Walmart. More for the convenience than the prices, but we believe the prices are lower than grocery stores.
Dollar General should try lowering their prices. They are far more expensive than Walmart on most things.
When you do price comparisons, Dollar General is a rip off. My local grocery store has better prices.
Walmart is cheap but I prefer to support the local grocery store and luckily, that works out since walmart is 15 miles further away.
I did make a rare trip to walmart yesterday but all I bought were a few items I can only get there.
Walmart, post Sam Walton, paved the way for all things come from China now.
I just shop the sales and am learning to cook with cheap ingredients. $8/lb is my price limit for meat.
People on my NextDoor app are complaining that the local Walmart’s massive parking lot is full by 9 AM and stays that way until closing.
Given the cost of living in SoCal, not surprised.
Old people’s favorite topic: food.
"Get your s___ and get out!"
They’re rebuilding their entire supply chain from the ground up with AI. Their new, purpose-built "high-tech" perishable distribution centers, which are designed from the ground up for near-full robotic handling of fresh goods like produce, dairy, meat, and eggs, are up to 98% automated, with AI-driven robotics sorting goods, handling perishables, and building perfectly optimized pallets for stores.
Their AI route-optimization engine has already eliminated 30 million wasted miles and reduced fuel, labor, and equipment wear.
On top of that, Walmart’s “self-healing inventory” system constantly scans for stock problems—overages, shortages, slow movers, fast movers—and fixes them automatically. It reroutes products, rebalances inventory across regions, and prevents out-of-stocks and overstocks before a human even notices. In one local market alone (Mexico City), it saved them over $55 million.
They’re also rolling out millions of IoT sensors so every pallet, case, and cold item is tracked with real-time precision. That means less spoilage, fewer errors, tighter replenishment, and lower storage costs.
In 2008, Walmart was evil.
What has changed?
DEI and Walmart $$$ to -> DNC
Hiring new help? Or placing more work on the backs of current help?
Low prices? China-mart.
Avoid if I can.......
Good thread Kid...
Life’s Good !
We have a Walmart neighborhood market. Only groceries and prescriptions. It’s 20% cheaper on average Dennis Publix, which is the only other choice in town. Where would you shop? There are a few things that you can’t get at Walmart but you adjust your habits
