Better Than The Tax Incentive?


Surprise, Wal-Mart is back to advertising low prices. It's good to clarify that because everyone was starting to think of the world's biggest retailer as a fashion house. Or some provider of high-end what-ever's. What I thought was interesting, though, was that by shopping and saving at Wal-Mart could save families (or individuals, too, I guess) up to $700 a year. For many, that's more money than they received as part of the governments economic stimulus package. I wonder how far a buck could be stretched if a person's economic stimulus check was spent only at Wal-Mart.
