Reply #31: Just a note about their "price structure"...

[Flubadubya]

I live in a small town in S.W. Arkansas and the big W-M is about the only game in town... just about have to shop there for some items. I buy adult diapers for my elderly mother and the type she uses cost $9.43 a pack here in "Smallville".

There is a large town/city (Texarkana) about 30 miles away with a Wal-Mart. My roomie was in there the other day and saw the very same diapers (same brand, size, #, etc.) there in Texarkana and they were only $8.88.

To me this is just a case of their knowing that they can get the higher price in the small town where no one has any other options (but to pay even more at the local pharmacies), but in the larger nearby town, they have to compete a bit. I also think it is just another Wal-Mart practice that really sucks. If they can sell the product for 55 cents cheaper down the road, you know they could offer it for the same price in the smaller town too... but they don't because they know they don't have to. :grr:

ON EDIT: Oops... didn't mean to post as a response to above. I meant it to be a response to the OP.
