Wal Mart's price points are not nearly as aggressive as they once were and I think they are using food price increases to make up for the significant inventory issues they are having on the non food side and the cost involved in handling that, sitting on it, and marking it down. I was in a location today that has so many storage trailers they now have 20 of them on the parking lot next to the store that is Kohls lot (isn't even their lot... guess they got Kohls permission to put all the trailers there), this is in addition to 30+ trailers they have on their own lot. This store is currently having some kind of an expansion out back to add fulfillment facility, and the inside has been fully redecorated (didn't really move anything around).Bagels wrote: ↑October 15th, 2022, 11:04 pm Walmart is quickly catching up to Albertsons:
Since my last visit two weeks ago:
* Big Boy salad dressings are now $6, up $2.
* A three pack of Romaine Hearts was $2.12, but now a single heart is the same price. Probably a slightly larger heart, but the three pack organic at $3.50 weighed twice as much.
* A four pack of Great Value breakfast sandwiches are now $6, up from $4. They’re $4.49 at Albertsons.
* A four pack of cupcakes is $5.99, up from $2.99 (I think I noticed this last time).
* GV single-serve frozen entrees are now $4.30ish, up from 2.30-something.
* Yoplait Yogurt is now 78c, was 56c.
Bananas are priced at 33c per lb, and large eggs 1.97 per dozen, both great deals, but I think that’s specific to this store.
I was also last week at a Wal Mart in Washington, Utah that had easily 75 trailers on the side of the store/parking lot. The store appeared to have just completed a remodel and is a very busy store but still do not know why it needs so many trailers. Inventory is out of control.
