Krogers, Food Lion, Publix, etc. simply will NOT even try to be competive with Walmart. They can buy their stock often just as cheap as Walmart and pass the savings along. But nooo, they’d rather lose the business, and the items go out of date, sitting on the shelf.

What these other big stores don't do (that Walmart is apparently doing now) -- is that they have not eliminated the "name-brand products" from their stores and kept only their own "off-brand product".
When a store does that, and a certain segment of your shoppers want that name-brand product, you end up driving your customer away from your store and into the hands of a competitor who still has that name-brand product that the customer wants...
Walmart better rethink that particular "marketing strategy" for their own benefit and for keeping their customers ... :-)
