Wal-Mart
Empty Shelves and Higher Prices Push Shopper Elsewhere

Up until recently Wal-mart has been my main shopping place. The past 3 times that I have been there, they have not had the soda that I prefer, there was a total of 11 items that I most likely would have purchased but there was no shelf price nor item price. The choice of after shave was with just 2 items. They say they are stocking more, but are they the items shoppers want?
Low prices (?) I noted one item had increased by one third (velvetta cheese loaf 2lb) and chase & sandborn coffee in the 33oz can was always marked at least $2.00 or more below other more famous or well known brands, is now at an equal price with all others. Does Walmart think that customers don't notice such changes? If I need go elsewhere to pick up items I can't find here, I rethink as to whether I need to spend time shopping here at all. Many times I later find that the item I need or want is cheaper elsewhere, so I am beginning to go elsewhere FIRST!
