![]() ![]() ![]() Now, I keep a spiral notebook with my grocery list each week. However, in the past 1+ year, the same bread was only $1.00 - it has not been $1.50 (in at least 1 year). I have also noticed that Walmart misleads consumers with it's "Rollback" pricing notices.įor example: The loaf of French Bread has a sign stating the price Was $1.50, and is Now $1.24. Now, we have 3 brands + 1 Store Brand - no real selection remaining. For example: We used to have a wide selection of about 8 different brands of canned peas, so the prices were a good spread - low-to-high. I have seen this mostly in the grocery section. What I have noticed is that when the price on a National Brand product becomes equal to or less than the Generic / Store Brand, then Walmart removes the National Brand from the shelf. Right, they say the customer is #1, yet they stop selling what customers want and then make them stand in rediculously long lines. They not only do that, they dont open enough registers to where u wait longer in line than the time it took to shop and its all about their #1 priority…money. No one can save money because they arent going to have 25% to 50% of the name brand items u want. This has frustrated me to the point of when i see walmarts commercial about bring ur other grocery receipt and see how much money walmart can save u because of prices and them being YOUR ONE STOP GROCERY STORE, i feel like putting my foot through the TV. Some of the other items i liked that this happened to are, granola bars, frozen meals, yogurt, certain kind of cookies from the deli, face cloths my wife used, shampoo and conditioner and many more. This same thing has happened to many other items and about 12 of my family and friends say the same thing happens with their favorite items that are hard for them to keep stocked. They dont have trouble keeping any other flavor of Cafe Escapes in stock and they still sell everyone of those. I asked what the deal was an they gave me some explanation that made no sense. They would sell out immediately and the shelf would stay empty for up to a month and a half and then they would order just 5 more and the cycle goes on. They could hardly ever keep them in stock and then when they reorder, they would order only 5 boxes. ![]() For example, Cafe Escapes Vanilla is my favorite. So they choose to keep their shelves full of lesser and slower selling items than having empty shelves all the time. I know for a fact that empty shelves look very bad for them. What they do is they quit selling those items, which led me to believe that they would rather replace those items with something easier to keep in stock. TO me that means that these items are very popular and selling more than they predicted and they cant keep in stock. They have done this to so many items i like that was always sold out and they couldn't keep the items in stock. I live in North Carolina and our local Walmart been doing this for a year or more. In response to mrs penguin, she is exactly right. ![]()
