You have been down the cell disbelief before. It’s ok no one cares if you don’t carry one or can’t use one. However if you don’t have first have first hand knowledge of Walmart, why expect someone to do your research.

I can give you the exact answer to your question, but I would have to use my cell, so I won’t.

Wow, that escalated quickly.

An example, .75 cents more on a gallon of milk. As for publix, i've been to the one in tv and in my area an hour away, and didn't find no price differences in products.

Tv walmart charges more because it's in tv.

Any walmart shoppers notice this?

Some seem to be paranoid, the world is picking on the villages, or at least the State of Florida. Truly it is simple. If, it is not worth what they are asking don't buy it. If, it is a few cents cheaper at another store, is it worth the gas, the wear and tear on your car, your time to drive there? Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn't.

Yes very true. Regardless of your choice Walmart prices vs competition. Little or no competition means higher prices.(and why wouldn’t they). No competition means no reason for extra discount. If you travel much it becomes very clear when shopping at Walmart.

The Walmart Neighborhood stores are not privately owned. They are owned by Walmart.

For the love of Walmart
 
I had no idea so many people were so passionate about Wallmart. 😂😂😂

Oh my!! What a disagreeable thread😳

This is just my opinion but I think it’s volume, truckers are being held up from getting & bringing merchandise. So Walmart might have to raise prices because their volume is low. Our country is in shambles right now!

Walmart Pricing
 
Walmart does not buy from different wholesalers. They buy all direct, with exception of possibly some local produce. Both Walmarts in area would have all their product coming from sale location.

There are many reasons. They buy merchandise from different wholesalers or directly from the manufacturer. Some store plow advertising dollars into reducing the price while others use the money as profit. Some stores are based on volume, others are based on profit, or any combination.

Prices do vary , not only in the Walmart's, other stores do the same.

The Sun is shining and it’s going to be in the 70’s today. You Walmart shoppers all have a good day. Fore!

In general though you're going to pay less at Wal-mart than at Publix, and less at Aldi than at Wal-mart. But other than savings, you're going to get less in other areas that impact how we shop as well. Publix has just about everything including knowledgeable store personnel, nice wide aisles, display layouts that make sense and are easy to reach, and (on the whole) polite shoppers, but
those perks cost money and that money comes from increased prices. Wal-mart means lower prices but also narrow aisles, people pawing over the produce that from the looks of them you should be social-distancing maybe 20 feet instead of six, narrow aisles with merchandise often stacked beyond your reach (and no store clerk available to help you), etc. Aldi lowest price of all, by a lot, but a VERY limited selection.

That's one of the nice things about TV. If the stores you shop at are close to one another (Wal-Mart, Publix and Aldi all in the space of less than a mile drive) you can comparison-shop and save some real money by so doing.

Should all stores have the same prices?

What's the solution to this problem? Maybe a law so that all prices across America are the same?
