Ping!
Well, take this news with a grain of salt since our local Walmart proceeded to jack up its prices after Kay-B-Toys went out of business. So these new rollbacks will just set the prices back to where they were in June.
I doubt this comes out of Walmarts margin. They pass the savings on to their suppliers.
Cheap plastic junk made in China that has nothing to do with what Christmas is, a distraction away from the Christian idea of salvation setting the little kiddies up for a celebration of greed, envy, and gluttony while the adults can safely occupy themselves with the same as well as added debaucheries of drunkenness, adultery and credit card debt! (Don't forget to mention parking lot road rage and general rudeness and the brawling over special flash sale items!)
Merry f-ing X-mas! Go ahead, ask me why I am pessimistic...
Still isn’t going to get you those layaway sales you were so insightful to stop. Credit is frozen, or people aren’t using cards that charge $100 a year to use with 30% interest rates.
Kmart, in the locations left open, will probably do well this year.
Oh yeah isn’t WalMart wonderful? Let me do a quick Eco 101 or what should be called putting other companies out of business the WalMart way.
WalMart will cut prices to look good during so-called economic tough times. In fact, we took a stroll through a local WalMart a couple of weeks ago doing price comparison. Overall, WalMart was not cheaper on most items maybe a nickel cheaper on some items. The stores are nasty, customer service is horrible, and the meat is shipped in already packaged and frozen.
Politically speaking, WalMart gave millions to the Obama campaign and has backed Obama on Socialized Medicine so they will NOT have to pay taxes. To be honest, WalMart is that corporation that everyone has warned us about all the while enjoying the poor people (foodstamps, medicade,and other govt, programs) that make them untouchable because they are nothing more than a Corporate Welfare company.
Oh and their products come from “CHINA”.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
Dirt/sow bugs/water/sea shells/rocks....
Those are REAL toys.
and I am a good chef because of it today. ; )
I wanted a cheapo plastic microscope, so I went to Wally World.
6 million kinds of transformer toys but little or nothing scientific in nature.
Ended up getting a very nice Collegiate model (about a $600 dollar scope) at the state surplus store for forty bucks.
My boys have ‘graduated’ to more expensive electronic cr@p. I let Husband handle that; I do socks and underwear, food and gasoline gift cards for Christmas gifts for them...and they like it! ;)
