1. You can't compare Walmart to Amazon and expect the same prices.
2. Although larger quantities are usually cheaper by the unit, sometimes that is not true. Maybe the store is running low on inventory for the larger one, or high for the smaller one. Maybe they cut the price on the smaller one to act as a loss leader - I know drinks are often in this category.
- teej 17y agoPoint 1 is incredibly important. Walmart achieves low prices in part by putting pricing pressure on their suppliers. I have never seen a 4-pack of Red Bull for $5 anywhere, it's always $6 or $7. My guess is that Walmart is setting that price point, not Red Bull.
