Walmart: Retail powerhouse past its prime? - Jul. 30, 2014
Think about it.
People are not making more. Prices are going up. So where can people purchase things with what they can afford? While Walmart does have candy for $1 like Dollar Tree or Dollar General, the prices of their food items are no where near better than the local grocery store. And if you want something like shower curtains or a blanket, it is easier to go to the Internet and have it shipped right to your door (and that includes the shipping!)
