Because no matter what they say, most people do not understand inflation.
If inflation is at 10% a business needs to see sales increase 10% just to tread water.
This is also going to lead to more job churn in the market as workers jump jobs trying to keep up with inflation.
“a contraction just happened and I do not for the life of me understand why people cannot see it.”
Won’t they look divine carrying their teacup poodles in their shopping bags?
Walmart sometimes has low-quality items with the same brand name, made especially for them.
(we’re in the early stages of a depression)
You are correct.
(a contraction just happened and I do not for the life of me understand why people cannot see it.)
They have Covid-19(84) brain. A desire (completely understandable) to have things return to “normal” when in fact those days, sadly, will never return.
Not even 2004 levels. Not even 2019 levels.

Oh good.
I’ll be able to hit them up for some condiments at the next intersection!

The ONLY Class that is gaining monetarily via handouts are the feral inner-city tribal parasites.
I think you already know the answer to that.
They have their head so far up their A$$ they could check themselves for bowel cancer.
Walmart also has some store brand items that are the same quality as name brand.
That being said, I usually shop the grocery ads and plan meals accordingly.
“You mean like the shoppers who buy eggs?”
Shoppers who don’t steal.
I’ve been noticing a lot of the “Bargain brands” are getting close to the price of major brands.
Have they factored in the amount of groceries that are being stockpiled???
All the Wal-Mart brands I’ve bought have been pretty bad. Same thing with Amazon Basics. They’re the cheapest stuff China can make, and that’s saying a lot.
Albertsons beats Walmart consistently on sale items. I’ve been buying pasta, eggs, milk, etc there. With sales and digital coupons….big Walmart beat.
