I feel the same as you. Even my wife, a true die hard WalMart fan has cut back to twice a month now and shopping more elsewhere.
But I am sure plenty of freepers will be here to say this is just an attack on WalMart by unions or somesuch boogieman instead of admitting it is becoming a trend from them.
Where I’m at, Wal-Mart has never been competitive on groceries. Only things I know they’re reliably inexpensive on is toiletries/beauty items.
For sure WM is feeling competition from Dollar General and Family Dollar, as people slide down the economic slope in the ongoing Baraqqi Depression.
