I feel certain that Lee (Wennie Fuzz) Scott and Rob Walton will make sure WMT passes the savings on to the customer rather than into their already full personel pockets.HA!,HA!

When Wal-Mart gets a special discount from a supplier, it goes right to the aisle price. When my local supermarket gets a special discount, the price remains the same and the stockholders get the benefit. I prefer the Wal-Mart approach.

Who cares about the price of laundry detergent? I don't "pinch pennies" or even look at prices when I shop. Worrying about a cost of a $6 or $7 bottle for a bottle of laundry soap is trivial and stupid.

Your comment sounds logical, but we have to consider that the formulation will not be the same, therefore there will be the need to invest in reformulating all those detergents, and that represents a huge cost for the producer.

Also the new smaller packaging will have to be designed and relabeled. All those are costs that affect the production costs immediatly.

The one who will get the biggest benefit of all these, is the environment (and Wal-Mart), and if the environment improves or at least is preserved as it is now, we are the receptors of the final benefit.

Sam would turn over in his grave if he knew everything in his store was made from china,and his company was supporting a communist country.
