I remember back about a decade ago, I was buying kitchen stuff, getting ready for moving out of home for the 2nd time. I had gotten a few things from one of the specialty stores but was with my partner at the time at a walmart (which I hated already and wouldn’t have been there on my own) and decided to hold my nose and grab some other things we still needed while there.
Only when I looked at the prices, they weren’t any better than the specialty place. Some things were even worse.
I realized they probably just advertised some loss leaders to get people in and then their prices for everything else were normal or high.
Stopped going to Walmart because prices were comparable everywhere else. Or, the price was slightly lower but the quality was garbage.
