<DIV>Wrong again Donovan. Walmart offers cheaper prices by selling cheaper
goods. The items Walmart sells are not there same as the items other stores sell
under the same manufacturers name. Walmart uses its buying power to force its
suppliers to produce cheaper and shoddier goods under the same name. Take Levi's
for example. The Levi's Walmart sells are not the same Levi's that Tri-State
sells, but a lower quality. The fabric is lighter and the manufacture is not the
same quality.</DIV>
<DIV>It strikes me that Walmart is to merchandising as Payday Loan places are to
banking; a way to cheat the poor and uninformed into paying HIGHER prices for
cheaper goods.</DIV>
