I noticed this as well...looks like the wal-marks is trying to give the illusion of deep cost savings....they remodeled my local store, took out all of the premium stuff a replaced it with overpriced value brands....

It is that ultra generic Great Value new packaging. I know I am buying generic, but gosh, white with blue letters that's it?

Thats easy cut the competitions throat by under cutting their prices. Then when you drive them out of business, you basically control the market.

i stopped shopping at wal mart a year ago .. i go to hi nabor and ralph's market (the local guys that pay local taxes) and have not noticed a whole lot of difference between them and what i was paying for shite at wal mart ... plus, i don't have to deal with the WIC card carrying, muffin top, tatted out trailer trash crowd either ..
