I just stopped by our local Wal-Mart today. I have to say, their prices weren’t particularly competitive. In many cases, they were higher - often significantly higher - than our local grocery store. My wife bought a few out of season clothes for my son two sizes too big but that was about it.

Here in northern NJ Wal-Mart will drive the grocery stores out of business as it did many other businesses; prices are noticeably better, though the selection is more limited. Our chain supermarkets are on the ropes, while many of the Wal-Mart shoppers are just there for groceries.
