Yep. We rarely go there anymore. Food prices there have really gotten ridiculous. BJ's consistently beats them on pricing.
There are a lot of Walmart haters out there, but I will say the King of Prussia Walmart (just outside Philadelphia) is a nice store. Friendly employees, clean, well stocked. I have no complaints. The parking lot is predominantly upscale cars - lots of newer minivans and SUV's. No shortage of Mercedes and Lexus vehicles. Walmart haters want to believe people are boycotting Walmart, but the truth is the economy is in the tank and that's what's bringing Walmart sales down.
If sales are down at Walmart, I suspect it has more to do with how people are shopping in these tough times. I have noticed that people's carts there are very targeted (as is our own). For instance, we will often buy a monthly supply of yogurt when we go there. It's not unusual to look over and see someone has a cart full of cereal or coffee. And then you head over to the Wegman's across the street and you see much the same thing (more meat and produce sold there though).
No doubt.
I see a lot of nay sayers saying this little loss is but a blip. I can make a fairly educated guess that the truth loss is probably higher and it took a lot of number crunching to get the loss to this acceptable level.
Much stuff, I just don't buy anymore. When they've shrunken the Oreos package for the third time and the price is 25 cents higher, I just skip it. I look for the cheaper alternative or I will skip that type of product all together if I don't need it. Same with many products. Just out of principle, I won't buy it.
