Default Wal-Mart and Wild Oats unveil cheaper organic line

This article was in The Daily Sun on April 11, 2014. Walmart is going to use its massive buying power to drive down the price of organic food items.

Walmart will offer Wild Oats organic items at least 25% cheaper than other national brands. Example: a six ounce can of organic tomato paste will be priced at .58 cents while other national brands sell for .98 cents.

Although, if I understand correctly, it won't be in every walmart, it think it will be in the Villages.

I'll try the tomato paste! I can't wait.

But here's what I wonder: Why are they so expensive on the non-organic fruits and vegetables? How can they be commited to lowering prices? What's up?

I called Walmart on 466 yesterday and talked to the produce manager. He said he has not heard anything about this new line of Wild Oats organic products.
