WinCo 25% cheaper than WM? They'll be bankrupt soon. That's impossible. There is a razor-thin profit margin on groceries.
Are you sure you don't mean that, for instance a house brand can of vegetables is 25% cheaper than a name brand at WM?
I enjoy reading your housing bubble threads, but now you've cast a lot of doubt on their veracity.

You are right to be cautious. But I'm telling the truth. Grocery prices are much cheaper at Win-Co. Months ago I went out pricing all the stores in the area. Wal-Mart was the last store I went to and I was greatly disappointed. First, by the appearance of the store. It looked dirty. The floors appeared unwashed. Second: Those hokey signs with happy faces turned me off totally. The high prices on those signs really freaked me out. I kept asking myself, "Why do people shop here? Prices are lower at Target." Third: People are opposing new WM stores in Oregon. This is grass roots movement. People became very upset in city council mettings. In Beaverton, WM finally gave up fighting

If you must, get on a plane. You will see the proof with your own eyes.

I think if you factor in the local stores having double coupons, and weekly specials, the local stores are quite a bit cheper. I know they are for me, and I doubt that study included either one.

I believe everyone has learned something here today.

Trust me, his housing bubble threads are complete and utter garbage. His sources are as reliable for those, as what he's posted to this thread about WM.

He's posted nothing but doom&gloom housing "bubble" threads for almost four solid years. In that time, real estate has gone up and up and up and up. Now, in some parts of this country, real estate has just leveled off and come back to a more normal state.
