In reply to the discussion: Walmart hikes house brand food prices, rewards shareholders [View all]Doc Sportello

Your claims are too broad and too ironclad to be considered realistic. I was talking about food items as should be clear. I think if you actually compared food prices you would find out differently as far as Aldis and Walmart.
Funny that you won't shop at Dollar General (which I never mentioned, just dollar stores in general) because of your high ethics but you will shop at Walmart, which as pointed out in the OP is screwing the working and poor families who used inflation to making a family of billionaires even richer. Corporate greed, as Robert Reich has pointed out, is what is driving this most recent inflation. So go make the Waltons richer and keep paying more at the store that screws workers and families everyday.
