I'm with you on this. I know when I buy something like a T-shirt at walmart it's going to fall apart alot quicker than one from somewhere else, even if they both say fruit of the loom or hanes on them.
With food though, a gallon of milk is a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread is a loaf of bread....which is why I'm shocked by the drastic price difference, because I don't see how the difference is anything other than how much the store chooses to mark things up, or how good of a deal they can negotiate with the supplier.
And with food, that's one area where Wal-Mart isn't the #1 seller in the country. Not all Wal-Mart's sell groceries, and there are other grocery chains that do more volume than they do....but they still just kill them on the retail price.
It's crazy.
