Walmart.com has stepped it up recently. Still a long way to go, and I doubt their intentions are any better, but competition is healthy.

Walmart.com has stepped it up recently. Still a long way to go, and I doubt their intentions are any better, but competition is healthy.
- stevesearer 8y agoI also like to use boxed.com for quite a few bulk items that one might otherwise find at Costco. And compared to Amazon, I have found some competitive pricing at Smart & Final for other items I used to purchase online.
- all2 8y agoGlanced at boxed.com. Is there any way to see what they have without logging in?
- Loughla 8y agoAs much as Amazon seems to be throwing their mud in consumers' collective faces, the Waltons are 100% not better people and Wal-Mart's entire success is based on exploiting low-wage workers and subsidizing your workforce through social programs. That's like trading arsenic for cyanide.
- RcouF1uZ4gsC 8y agoAt least you aren't getting stories about Walmart workers having to pee into bottles like Amazon workers.
- nroets 8y agoLast year I spent 5 months cycling through the US. Walmart was the one place I could consistently find healthy food such as fruit at low prices. Many other retailers have specials prices on fruit that only apply to loyalty cards holders. Obviously they track their customers.
- marnett 8y agoI'm fascinated that you cycled through the U.S. Did you happen to write anything about your travels that you're willing to share? I'd love to hear your experiences seeing America.

- marnett 8y agoI'm late to get back to you - thanks for sharing this. This is so extensive and exactly what I was looking for!
