Check out the fabric section. I have seen squares of felt for $0.09.

You got me beat. $0.2 CND for a nut.

Unfortunately our wm sc has loose nuts but they are (oh nevermind) All we have is the already-plastic-boxed nuts/bolts, etc.

What's the difference between Walmart Kool-Aid and non-Walmart Kool-Aid?

Why? They're both most likely identical... even made in the same factory.

:thumbsup:

Brand names are for suckers (for a lot of stuff at least)

In this case, it's not even a brand name

Are there no-name or Walmart brand condoms?

Well done, good sir! On to your next thread, and godspeed!

Probably. Remember the whole peanut butter fiasco? It affected Peter Pan brand and Great Value, with the same lot numbers - hmm, I have a distinct feeling that both were made in the same factory.
Maybe it's just the slightly lower-grade stuff that the brand-name company doesn't feel confident enough to put their own corporate logo on.

Keep in mind, just because it's made at the same factory, doesn't mean it's the same recipe. Other than that, you are correct. The great value peanut butter with code 2111 (the code of the Georgia plant that makes ALL peter pan peanut butter) was the one contaminated. However, not all great value peanut butter was affected, because it is not all made at that plant.

How very funny.

So it looks like we've found our Giffen good, at least for your slice of the consumer market. Walmart charging less for the exact same Kool-Aid makes you consume less of it because it makes you suspect whether it's really the exact same Kool-Aid.

I'm gonna call my old Econ professor
