Walmart
Nearby community-DIFFERENT prices

From varying (often. 10/gal. Or more) gas prices to milk - Walmart continues to follow 'whatever the traffic will bear' policy. There are many illustrations of pricing that varies dramatically in adjacent communities that are less than 20 miles apart. These are not penny differences but often $2 or more on exact, staple items. Perhaps the critics of WMT are correct by pointing out that IF WMT ever felt comfortable with 'owning' a particular market from driving small business entities out, they would suddenly jack up across the board. Fortunately, this economy has forced the falacious 'rollback' concept, whereby WMT ups the price before 'cutting it back' to create a false rollback and illusion of savings. Consumers grow wise to this chicanery, as fallen sales have shown. It appears that sam's concept has grown topheavy and the tail is beginning to wag the dog. The product mix has suffered during the remodeling process and reduced selection of womens' softgoods in particular has driven my wife to other sources such as JCP/TjMaxx etal. For clothing.
