Walmart prices aren't always lowest

In many cases they are higher. Where I lived Walmart just added a supermarket to the store. Thier prices are actually higher than other stores. The just put out few loss leaders and hope you pay the extra price for other groceries.

Some stuff is lower cost in Walmart but 80% of it is not. It's a good marketing tactic. Make the items you buy regularly a lower costs with hopes that while the customer shops for those items they grab a few high cost items just because it's a pain to drive to another store to get it for less.

By the way I live in Canada and amazingly Walmart sells Canadian made clothing. I think that pretty cool and will go out of my way to buy Canadian made clothing at Walmart as other stores import from China.
