Yes I notice the walmart prices getting higher.  I think they have marketed so many people now and they starting to raise prices.

I have not been In a Walmart in 7 years so i have no clue.  I hate big box stores.

I haven't noticed the price increase yet. Hopefully everything doesn't skyrocket too much.

That isn't going to happen. They are going to have as little cashiers as possible. Got to save money.

I am afraid they will.  Every where.  Every one wanted higher wages so now we are paying for it.  You can't have top premium products and employees making $15 an hour and products be sold at the same prices. The CEO and owners are not going to take the hit.

It's the same with McDonald's.  I stopped in there a couple days ago and they wanted $2 for 4 tiny chicken nuggets.  I passed on that and got the $1 cheese burger which most likely had no real meat in it whatsoever.

Yeah things keep going up that is for sure. Every now and then you get a deal and then all of a sudden that deal is gone. I guess you just keep shopping around the best you can. If you go some place stop in some wheres and see what their prices are.

Prices have not went up in our area yet.  It probably also depends on what the overhead is to keep your area store up. If the volume is low prices will go up.  I am always surprised when people get so upset over someone making enough money to support their family, without having to work several jobs.  Prices go up even when nothing happens to cause it like gas or wages.  This summer the gasoline in our area has went up to its highest ever and because of a housing shortage in our area the rents and hose prices have really jumped.

Prices are going up every where.  There doesn’t seem to be just one store.

You are not understanding.  Yes Walmart raised their pay to $11 an hour.  So yes, your pay check is bigger.  BUT the prices of everything went up so you pay more for your food, electric, and everything else so in reality you aren't making any more than you were before.

That is the only reason prices have went up so much.  I actually had a manager at the store tell me this.

They must of given Meijer employees a raise...everything is 10-15% higher than Walmart....

[alarisracing]

I don't like Walmart to much, I go when I can't find things elsewhere.

It is the only place we have in the town I live in. Can't afford and do not want to drive 45 minutes to go to another store. And like you said, Walmart has it when nobody else does.

Walmart price is higher and higher.   We have about 6 or 8 stories in a 15 mile of us.  We have learned to compare and get certain things at each store.   I have used Amazon and Walmart mail order for part of what we get.
