Re: Walmart!

Good for Walmart. Sound like they are helping to make things much more efficient and saving valuable resources. When things get tough the tough get tougher. There is a tremendous amount of wasted effort and energy going on that we all could do better minimizing.

There is a article similar to that out there I just saw a while ago.


Wal-Mart puts the squeeze on food costs.
The retailer is using its clout with vendors to hold onto its everyday low prices.

(Fortune Magazine) -- With gas, grain, and dairy prices exploding, you'd think the biggest seller of corn flakes and Cocoa Puffs would be getting hit by rising food costs. But Wal-Mart has temporarily rolled back prices on hundreds of food items by as much as 30% this year. How? By pressuring vendors to take costs out of the supply chain.
