Big retailers are Meijer, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Kroger. There are very few identical products at least 2 of the retailers carry (one being Wal-Mart), so going to Wal-Mart and demanding a lower price based on the competition is almost impossible. I tried that with electronics - Meijer has iPod Nano, Wal-Mart doesn't, Wal-Mart has Philips Two Gig Mp3 Players, K-Mart doesn't, and so forth. Whoever at Wal-Mart decided to do the "price match" gimmick, was a sharp fella. I did the comparison in Central Michigan area. Big retailers are Meijer, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Kroger.

I think that Wal-Mart would catch on if they got a flurry of ridiculous prices. Wal-Mart can stop the insanity whenever it wants -- it will just hit back harder.
