Guest[quote=EconProf]Wal-Mart has lower prices by keeping costs down. They don’t pay union wages, buy in bulk and force their suppliers to sell to them for less, and have far superior inventory systems. [/quote]
My cousin works for IBM in New York. They supply mainframes to Wal-Mart. IBM has a whole team working for Wal-Mark. He tells me that they have the best IT system of any retailer.

Guest[quote=flu] If folks simply buy what’s on sale versus buy what they want at any instance of time, that’s the biggest savings.[/quote]
That’s very true. I shop at Henry’s and I always buy whatever is on special that week and nothing more.
But then again I only shop for myself and not for a family.

Participant[quote=jimmyle]Cheese made with no cheese? I have never seen that.
I am talking about the same items that cost much less at Walmart or Costco. Try to buy a box of cereal at Ralphs and then at Walmart. You will save at least 50 cents at Walmart. And don’t tell me that the eggs and milk are Walmart are inferior.
Eating out at Fastfoods or high end restaurants is an entirely different matter.

Read all about the fake cheese http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-imitation-cheese.htm. For real, read the label before you buy processed food.
I still find the dining analogy adequate. You can get the same dish for less money if you don’t tip, no? The same way you get the diapers for less if you shop at Walmart. Or you can get crappy food and fast track medical condition if you eat at fast food places, like you do if you feed yourself with the crap carried by Walmart.
And no, the eggs and pies sold @ Ralph’s or Henry’s are not the same as the stuff sold @ Walmart.
