I was shocked at how much cheaper grocery prices were at Walmart than Publix (and Dollar Tree). They're going to drive a lot of other stores out of business. Is this a good or bad thing for the economy...?
Thats been the plan all along. Walmart & big stores put the small, local businesses out & as time goes by when they’ve crushed all the competition they jack the prices up & you have no other real options, & the Walmarts & Amazons control it all. ( sort of like VP’s communist “Price Control” plan).
Thats been the the plan all along. Walmarts and Amazons came into areas, slowly pushing the smaller businesses out and once they’ve crushed them, the Walmarts and Amazons & gov control it all, then jack up the prices higher than they’ve ever been. Our options become more & more limited & the ability of owning a small business becomes harder & harder, until your only option is a monopolized government run, one stop shopping. ( sort of like the VP’s communist “Price Control” plan).
Exactly! All I ask for my job is to pay me the same the next year adjusting for inflation. Not even asking for a raise. If inflation is 8%, give me 8% more. The shareholders and stock went up by double digits. They can afford to pay the employees the inflation adjustment. Edit: I got 2% raise last year. 😢
@@slickdiggler1197 Yeah, ugh. All price controls do is make the product unavailable AT ANY PRICE! But why would we expect a US President understand basic economics?
I work for Publix and they recently had an emergency meeting in Orlando calling in all managers, which rarely happens. Turns out revenue is down and leadership wants our focus to be on lows and out of stocks on the shelves, which has ALWAYS been a priority. Leadership is out of touch with our customers and don’t understand that people can’t afford to shop at Publix. Even the associates they work for the company will shop elsewhere. Walmart and Aldi are taking customers from us and they can’t seem to understand that people are struggling and need to stretch their dollar.
@@l2xsniper1 even after the “discount”you’re still better shopping elsewhere. Most of our customer show up for the BOGOs and other good deals. You can save at Publix if you shop smart.
I shop Publix and WinDixie because I get to both stores with out a traffic light drama. like Publix for just about everything except for prices. Stores are clean and well stocked and customer service is very good. However, Publix is out of touch with reality. I shop WinDixie because I feel they have better prices. I shop Publix because of produce quality. Like shown in the video, I shop Target for eggs, milk and other things we need because they have better prices. Our Walmart competes with everybody. I generally find that Walmart is not significantly cheaper on most items for me to make a separate trip there.
Several industries are experiencing the same situation, with the same leadership response. Amazing how out of touch people who are supposed to have their finger on the pulse of the markets are now. It's not rocket science, the economy is crap, costs are too high, debt of households is high, so what would one think is going to happen? Duh.....even Homer Simpson could figure this one out.
We shop at Aldi and they are 30 to 50% less than Publix on almost every item. Yes it requires giving up devotion to name brands. Saving $200 to $300 a month on groceries makes it worth it.
Our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.
People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyper inflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyper inflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.
Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.
I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path.!!

The US economy cannot survive without continuous credit and debt creation. The FED will print more money and the average American will go just that much further in debt. Meanwhile, foreigners lust for the greenbook. Their economies are in worse condition than the US... if that's even possible.

Wal-Mart isn’t the cheapest grocery store; Aldi is. Unfortunately, I can’t get everything I need to keep my kids going there, but if you just need the cheapest way to survive, that’s Aldi.

2008. We never bounced back. They just walked it back 50% from the fucking they were giving us in 2008-2010. And when they let off 50% , all of us went " thank God!" When the truth is we were still fucked.
Billionaires owning politicians who claim it's God's will while also pocketing dark money isn't a good idea. Can we all agree on that much yet, America?
Capitalism has for all intents and purposes recessions built into its definition. Cycles of recession happen on average every 7 years non stop since basically the middle ages. Richard Wolfe does an excellent job to elucidate these ideas. If you havent listened to his explanations in this you're really missing out.
I worked for an advertising company that secured a portion of Walmart's business to produce inserts. However, Walmart consistently failed to pay their invoices. Despite repeatedly emailing the invoices, they claimed they never received them. Eventually, they outright told us to sue them, fully aware that their size and resources could overwhelm us with legal paperwork and prolong the process, costing us far more than they owed. It was a clear example of a large corporation strong-arming smaller businesses.
Sadly that checks out. Walmart isnt the only one either. Many large businesses do this. Honestly, I would've sent the invoice via certified mail so that someone working for the company would have to sign off saying they recieved the invoice. Though I'm sure Walmart's lawyers would still try to argue that wasnt proof that they recieved it...
As a former large corporate consultant at a bank, other large corps have done the same. It's disgusting. File 1099's and UCCs against them. Cheaper and better than lawyers having the IRS handle your outstanding income and their debt.
The U.S. economy relies on ongoing credit and debt generation for sustenance. The Federal Reserve is expected to increase the money supply, leading to further debt accumulation for the average American. Meanwhile, foreign nations continue to desire the U.S. dollar, despite their own economies facing significant challenges, some even worse than that of the U.S. This situation raises concerns about who will ultimately bear the consequences of these economic dynamics.

@@Bosfootball my mom hates Walmart and prefers to go to Save-A-Lot instead. I don't mind Walmart, but I'll probably go to Homeland first before the former. Obviously if money is really tight (and it has been for awhile) I'll go to Walmart.
Yep, That’s how they destroy communities over time. Lowball the prices now, wait quietly for the competition to fizzle out, all while siphoning up the local money to funnel right back to their upper end instead of back into the area. Before you know it you’re just that branch closing down away from being in a food desert and they have free rein to either creep the prices back up or the working conditions down.
The worst part is the people working hardest are getting the least remuneration for their efforts and then shamed in the media for not taking more hours, more work despite the poverty wages. 40% of people in work need state support. That’s a reflection of greed not poor work ethics by working people. This is being done by design, by greed.

I do not disagree, there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such execution are usually carried out by investment experts or advisors with experience since the 08' crash.
I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million

Woman tried to run me down at WM last week. I took too long (1 min) to load my groceries and she wanted the parking spot. So, she tried to kill me. Makes sense.
That's why I go shopping at night, I have been doing that for like 10 years and really went late during COVID like at 10pm it was great, no people around. I even used to go at like midnight but stores started to close earlier with inflation in the last few years.
I just order my groceries on the Walmart app and go to the grocery pickup line to get my order every week. Too many crazy people go there so I don’t ever risk going inside. I’m in and out of the property within 10 mins everytime
I bought 10 pairs of WalMart sandals, slides, and tennis shoes for my family for $1-3 each at Walmart. Regular prices between $14.98-$29.98. I bought mens cargo shorts for $3-9/pair, regularly $24.98-$29.98 each. The associate doing the markdowns told me they jardly sold any shoes all summer and she had 40 pallets of them to mark down😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
I’ll be honest with you, a lot of people do not want to pay the full price for the quality. Many are shopping other shoes that are more expensive yes but higher quality. They will even buy used at that point. I myself avoid Walmart because I hate the store and the corporate.
The random huge discounts on overstocked items is one of my favorite things about walmart. Ive gotten some crazy stuff for a fraction of the price it should be
@@darcymoon2109I got a pair of happy face slides for the pool and gardening that are like wearing marshmallows on my feet! Not everything is uncomfortable.
@HistoricLife my 3 main stores are Aldi, Costco and Kroger as well. We have a family of 8, so I just use Kroger to stock up on loss leaders and fuel points and try to buy everything else at the other 2. Although I do occasionally have a few things I get at Walmart too.
@@rgrcooper I don't like Walmart or Sam's Club. The quality is not good on their meat or frozen products. I understand some folks don't have a choice and I am not judging, but I would rather buy better quality items.
My husband and I did that market study years and years ago. We buy most of our groceries at Walmart. What I have noticed the past couple years is that the Equate, Great Value, and anything else with high value/cost ratio is regularly sold out.
It is called "The Walmart Effect" This has been long known & understood by Walmart. Initially, they undercut local businesses to bring in customers. This takes customers away from mom & pop's causing many to close. Once market domination is achieved, Walmart raises prices.
Modern America is boring. It's a copy/paste format all across this nation with strip malls, Starbucks, single family homes, apartments and condos. The soul of America has burnt out a long time ago. We have no real identity anymore.
Some mom and pop places join a large franchise like IGA they get them better prices with buying power of a larger chain but they still own the store and run it day to day.
Walmart has always been cheaper than most places, no surprise there. What is a surprise is a few years ago Walmart began to test a pricing scheme where a particular item, let's say their Great Value food storage bags, which comes in various counts like 25, 50, or 75 in a box... They must've figured out that most people buy the larger count boxes because they think they're saving money, and in the past that was true, but Walmart was and probably still is cashing in on this consumer phenomenon by increasing the price of the larger quantity boxes while the smaller quantities are cheaper, don't believe me next time you go to Walmart take the price of something and divide it by the ounces or quantity, then do the same for the larger and smaller ones. You might find a particular item is cheaper in the smaller size or quantity.
@@michaeldalton8374 If you can find the tag. The other problem is the same product many times will be measured differently to get the final price, depending on size or flavor making it impossible to compare.

My wife and I have a very high combined salary, but one thing has remained a constant over the last 5 years - we shop at Aldi 95% of the time. I don't understand why anyone is shopping at Whole Food's, Publix, etc. Most grocery stores need a reality check big time, especially Publix. Publix pricing is egregious. Last time I shopped there, we needed a few extra last minute items for a BBQ and it's a 2 minute drive versus 20 minutes to Aldi. Walked out of there $60 lighter, and all I got was some sodas, charcoal and produce. That would've been maybe $30 at Aldi.
They don't sell the Emperor's new clothes at Aldi, is the issue. The comments are crawling with people who think there's something wrong with the produce at Walmart, and there isn't. Maybe your local Walmart is messed up, that's a you problem. These people would have to let go of some real nasty classism in order to save a buck on cereal, and they can't do it.
When I was in college, I always thought "once I'm making six figures, I'm never going to shop at walmart again. I can't WAIT for that!" Now here I am in 2024, making six figures like "Holy shit. Good thing we have Walmart and Aldi. Otherwise we'd be screwed."
Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

It also doesn't really matter if food only goes up 2% if rent and housing continues to rise as much as it has. People are gonna be squeezed to the point of choosing the cheapest options.
I think there are 2 massive money sinks everyone has, thats housing, and insurance. Be it health, auto, home ,etc. Those 2 things are going up at incredible levels, and they are not offering anything extra. Then, you see wages are nearly stagnant. The 2 costs that need to come down are housing and insurance, and i only see that happening 1 of 2 ways. The government gets involved (which is never good and they wont anyway) or people collapse on 1 of those 2 costs, likely insurance.
There is too much people for me I prefer regular local grocery store or Aldi’s is better. Best option is farmers markets or local farms if you can afford it.
I needed a box fan and some containers for my garden. I went to Goodwill thinking those items would be around $5. A USED box fan at good will was $10. Rubbermaid containers were $5.99 each. At goodwill!!!!!!! I unfortunately went to Walmart and got those same items brand new for less due to roll back pricing. I’ve never been a Walmart shopper until this year. As a single person working two jobs just to get by I fear for our future because I do t know how single moms or blue collar families are going to continue if this crap doesn’t change.
goodwill shot themselves in the foot raising prices. in these tough times, if they slashed all prices by 50-70% across the board, theyd see record profits like they have never seen before

It appears that there is no structured guide for beginners on how to start properly in this realm. I’ve came across several investors making well over $250k/annual and I would be grateful if anyone on here could provide insights on how to get started, identity potential stocks, when to make an entry, exit etc

In order to make profits from trading you need loads of experience and a well defined strategy, which most traders don't have. If you trade without the proper preparation, you're most likely to lose your money. Identify the buy/sell ratios and identify the market leaders and most importantly. Diversify! this will help you spread risk.
"Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a market analyst for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.".
The belief that the Federal Reserve would stop raising interest rates was the driving force behind the entire economic chaos. What should we do now that we have a situation where interest rates are crashing? At this point, how would you suggest that I safely allocate $300k?
Although the market is currently volatile, aren't the current valuations a result of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and low interest rates? Therefore, my recommendation is that you consult a financial advisor who can give you entry and exit points for the shares that you are interested in.

Aldi's beats Walmart on pricing. The U6 number that counts discouraged workers is at 7.9%. This is more of an accurate reflection of the true unemployment rate.
I find that funny because there's an Aldis in a Walmart right next to each other that that's around me and I go to Walmart because they are actually cheaper than the Aldi's
But what you really want to look at is participation rate. It’s fallen from 66-67% down to 62%. That’s about 8-10 million who have dropped out. So the U6 is actually waaay understating the unemployment crisis. Reality is we’ve been at near depression level unemployment for many years. So sad.
The oldest price history for that yellow house was a sale in 2019 for $100k. The asking price was $139k. It sold again after seven months for $202k. Seems like a flip. And after two months for sale in August of 2024 at ~$320, the listing was removed.
Every crash/collapse brings with it an equivalent market chance if you are early informed and equipped, I've seen folks amass up to $1m amid economy crisis, and even pull it off easily in favorable conditions. Unequivocally, the collapse is getting somebody somewhere rich

I guess ur a dick, coz I never fo to any big shop, I only buy within 3 mile range around my home. I know all the owners of the small shops. I only pay cash. And out of the 20 shops I regularly visit all 20 I can owe a money no problem. If I'm short. I believe in helping ur neighbors. Big stores will take them out price wise I understand that. But service wise never come close. What if my car goes in and I can't afford to fix it anymore. If there are no local smallshops im screwed.

Commenting from Ontario... last week, when I went shopping at our walmart, I felt so frustrated. Im a very conscientious shopper. I try to shop only discounted items, and my family has had to seriously cut down, particularly on meats. Anyway, at the till, i scanned the meats first. What I purchased was a single 1lb chub of ground beef, a small rotisserie chicken, a package of breakfast sausage (26 sausages), two packets of Great Value bacon, and a package of 6 chicken breasts. It all rang up to $98. Almost $100. I hate going grocery shopping because it seems like every trip is more disheartening than the last 😢
I now shop Walmart weekly for groceries. I recently moved to another state. There are 3 grocery store options + Walmart in 5 mile area. Walmart is by far the least expensive. There are a handful of brand specific items that Walmart doesn't carry that I pick up at Safeway on the way home.
@@cxMLG No party is supposed to set prices, other than Communist Party. They are selling you in a different way - by providing "too big to fail" golden parachute for financial institutions, so they are willing to take extreme risks without actually risking anything - a taxpayer and their children will cover the loss.
I haven’t gotten a raise in three years. Fortunately I do have a job and own a home. Still, I have cut my grocery budget and don’t go out to eat much, but I feel blessed. My heart goes out to those who are stretched thinner.
We grow our own produce and purchase our meat at the farm down the road. But for all other items, we shop at Walmart. Best prices, best selection hands down.
Also some of their food is really high end.cheese and nuts especially.thank god for the germans(never thought i d say that..Im a Brit expat in the usa) and the choceur brand chocolate is fab...as a Brit I cant stand the crap quality of american chocolate.I d be very depressed without Aldi.
Keep in mind folks Publix is a employee owned company unlike Walmart. Employees own 85% of the company. Plus Publix has way better produce, cleaner and lines are waaaay smaller
Recently learned that Walmart doesn’t allow Apeel or Organipeel on their brands, which is great because all the other large chains are accepting produce with those chemicals. On the west coast, Winco is cheaper than Walmart and an employee owned company so we prefer to shop there. The only downside is they are cash or debit only. If people are living on credit cards, they can’t purchase there.

I’m an extreme couponer and DONT like to shop at Walmart. I shop at Dillon’s “Kroger own store “ I use digital & paper coupons plus as many apps that gives rebates= cash.
But don’t you have to buy an extreme amount of items for those coupons to be of use? It’s just two of us in our home and having a lot of items we’d never use doesn’t make any sense to us
1.) People want good tasting food. 2.) People want nutritious food, much of which is fresh, frozen, etc. 3.) People want some food that is more convenient to prepare. 4.) People want cheap food (that is filling, tasty and healthy). 5.) People want to shop at places that are not too far from their homes. 6.) People want some food that is more durable. The grocery stores that will survive will figure out how many of these things that they can deliver on-if not all of them, then most of them. And we, the consumer, will keep shopping around. Personally…. 1.) Pasture raised eggs are important to consume, unless people are allergic, etc. 2.) Liquid vitamin D3 is important to consume where there is not much sunlight. 3.) Wild caught salmon is important to consume a few to several times a month or so… 4.) Pasture raised chicken is a good idea, at least once or twice a week. 5.) Peanut butter. No salt, no sugar. 👍 (Unless someone is allergic) 6.) Pasture raised or organic turkey- also a good idea. 7.) Pork is a better idea than many people realize. Even uncured bacon and sausage are not bad choices… 8.) Veggies, esp. frozen, organic, etc., yes. 9.) Fruit- organic - yes. 10.) Nuts, seeds - yes. 11.) Beans - yes. 12.) Herbs/spices - yes. 13.) Purified water - yes. 14.) Herbal tea - yes. 15.) Multivitamin supplements - not a bad idea
Im 26, last time I remember going to a walmart was when I was a teenager. I cannot afford anything there now as an adult. I am lucky to be working a job where I make more money than my peers. I get my groceries at Aldi and anything I need for the house I get at thrift stores. I dont have rhe best paying job, but I make more than most of my friends. I dont understand how they are surviving when im living paycheck to paycheck. Something has got to change, but it doesnt seem like nobody in government cares...
People in the US are living longer than ever. And we have more people over 90 years old and over 100 years old than any other country. I guess it is the pollution and rotten food and lack of health care.
They are good price comparison points to use when looking at different stores though. Stuff like fresh meat and produce prices vary drastically even between counties or states. Canned soup and bread should remain similar enough to at least be comparable.
From the look of things they’re certainly on their last legs in Tennessee too. A freaking dollar general on seemingly every other corner outside of the big cities.
I used to go to Publix and I think the Pandemic was their excuse for raising prices. I now shop at Trader Joe. Some comparisons: 1. Kale salad is $3.29 at Trader Joe and $4.99 at Publix 2. 2 burritos at Trader Joe's are $3.99 and just ONE Amy's burrito is nearly that much at Publix. 3. 5 small chicken drumsticks are usually less than $4 at Trader Joe's, and closer to $5.50 at Publix 4. Trader Joe has a very good red Cabernet wine for $7.99 and anything comparable at Publix is $11.99 Trader Joe has better fruit prices, too. I never feel that Walmart produce is fresh and in case people did not know, they irradiate their meat.
-@@gypsybelle4757 --Just had to evacuate so the motel is near Trader Joe's, a plus. My area may not get power for a week and Florida temps are still close to 90. My dog can't handle it.
It is much worse in coastal cities here in Florida, the cost of EVERYTHING had quadruped while the wages are lower than the central cities. We spend less going out to eat in a central city. They think us local coastal residents make the same income as wealthy tourists, so some places jack up the prices. Wages seem much lower in a tourist town. Problems are magnified here.

It's not longer news cost of living is real and it's a global situation every one is talking about without giving a right solution on how to savaged through this situation, i have sat down and think. In the same environment where we have people doing two jobs but still struggling to make a living there are still people living successful financial life, that's why In these uncertain times, it's more important than ever to have a solid understanding of how to manage your finances because even the bank is insured, invest wisely and navigate economic downturns, investing with the little you have can give you a future you don't need to work again, i pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life too 🙏🙏🙏

Walmarts even become cheaper than Aldi over where I live which is crazy to me. Aldis eggs were always the affordable go-to, but now Walmarts are about 40 cents cheaper.
My friend is a manager at Walmart. They set prices at each individual store. Your store is probably setting their prices to try and compete with Aldi. They call it their “competitive pricing strategy”. They do this to try and put all other stores out of business and then after they do this they raise the prices. They do this over and over in communities.
Unfortunately, not all of us were financially literate early. I was 35 when I finally educated myself and started taking steps.

Now I'm fast-tracking my wealth building (investing $400,000 annually) and don't owe a dime to anyone. It's a good feeling!

I chose to just cook food from as close to from scratch as possible and also I generally eat 50% of what I use to. Convenience is now so overly priced it was all I could think of.
They are not the cheapest place to buy groceries. HEB and Joe V's have better deals. Walmart meat is nasty. Walmart also cheats on weights: bread that is supposed to be 20oz but is 17 oz. They still weight meat with 2 or 3 oz of saline in the meat pad beneath the meat. Be happy to show you the photos.
I used to work at ChynaMart back in the day & you wouldn't believe what they do to their food, yes it's that disgusting! Produce-Tomatoes are stored in the frozen cooler taken out in a.m, they're mushy & have bugs, they don't rotate the food by dates, WATCH THE DATES!! I could go on & on about that place....awful! 👍 😝

I consume a couple of pounds of beef per month by default from not growing up in a household of food. I use it for flavor mostly. However, I spend about 60$ per month on ground beef as part of homemade dog food. Natural Grocers is an organic store that sells a brand of hamburger titled Thousand Hills. It is grass fed from birth to slaughter. I could drive 50 miles to save one $ per pound, but I still don't trust those local ranchers to not feed GMO grain just prior to slaughter. It took much research to reach this knowledge. I appreciate your posting of indisputable information.
I shop at Trader Joe’s. Always. Walmart is bad for communities honestly and siphons out money which would normally stay in that community. Also… it’s ghetto
I live in Florida and started to shop @ Walmart for veggies and fruit. Avocado comparison Walmart vs Publix ( $.75 vs $1.25) says it all. And the list goes on.
I go to Walmart almost everyday. Prices are cheaper but still higher than a few years ago. I also go to Publix at times. Quality of produce and ppl in general is better than Walmart.
Every day? Might consider their $99/yr home delivery subscription - over $35 delivery free otherwise $9.95. Also free shipping on alot of items comes with the subscription, signed up 01/2019 and haven't stepped in a store since, SUPER timesaver!
We shifted to Walmart because it’s closer to us. We are tired of driving 20 miles to save a dollar. And if you know what to look for there are a few people car camping in the parking lot!
An example I saw of this was our apple cider. The Kroger cider is terrible in quality, but only $4 for a half-gallon. Meanwhile our luxury brand was of a much, much higher quality and was very enjoyable to have. But because it was $6, almost nobody bought them. Seriously, last week we sold, on average, three of the luxury cider per day. That's two boxes a week for an item that's in extremely high demand right now

Thats been the plan all along. Walmart & big stores put the small, local businesses out & as time goes by when they’ve crushed all the competition they jack the prices up & you have no other real options, & the Walmarts & Amazons control it all. ( sort of like VP’s communist “Price Control” plan).
Thats been the the plan all along.

I work for Publix and they recently had an emergency meeting in Orlando calling in all managers, which rarely happens. Turns out revenue is down and leadership wants our focus to be on lows and out of stocks on the shelves, which has ALWAYS been a priority. Leadership is out of touch with our customers and don’t understand that people can’t afford to shop at Publix. Even the associates they work for the company will shop elsewhere. Walmart and Aldi are taking customers from us and they can’t seem to understand that people are struggling and need to stretch their dollar.
Yeah even though Publix does those random discounts on items, its not consistent on items you need
@@l2xsniper1 even after the “discount”you’re still better shopping elsewhere. Most of our customer show up for the BOGOs and other good deals. You can save at Publix if you shop smart.
I shop Publix and WinDixie because I get to both stores with out a traffic light drama. like Publix for just about everything except for prices. Stores are clean and well stocked and customer service is very good. However, Publix is out of touch with reality. I shop WinDixie because I feel they have better prices. I shop Publix because of produce quality. Like shown in the video, I shop Target for eggs, milk and other things we need because they have better prices. Our Walmart competes with everybody. I generally find that Walmart is not significantly cheaper on most items for me to make a separate trip there.
Several industries are experiencing the same situation, with the same leadership response. Amazing how out of touch people who are supposed to have their finger on the pulse of the markets are now. It's not rocket science, the economy is crap, costs are too high, debt of households is high, so what would one think is going to happen? Duh.....even Homer Simpson could figure this one out.
PubIx nice but too pricey
We shop at Aldi and they are 30 to 50% less than Publix on almost every item. Yes it requires giving up devotion to name brands. Saving $200 to $300 a month on groceries makes it worth it.
Yeah I feel like ALDIs is better. However if I want name brands I go to Walmart
Buying name brands will only make you sick due to all the chemicals that's in them
Aldi is so much better than anything
I spend like 60$ on groceries for two people , me and my gf, idk how y'all spend 200-300 , y'all buy steaks and Doritos and sodas probably
Hopefully it will last. We are in a depression now and nothing is immune to not change overnight
Our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.
People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyper inflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyper inflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.
Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.

The US economy cannot survive without continuous credit and debt creation. The FED will print more money and the average American will go just that much further in debt. Meanwhile, foreigners lust for the greenbook. Their economies are in worse condition than the US... if that's even possible.

I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I appreciate giving an investment coach the power of decision-making. Given their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it is practically impossible for them to underperform.

I worked for an advertising company that secured a portion of Walmart's business to produce inserts. However, Walmart consistently failed to pay their invoices. Despite repeatedly emailing the invoices, they claimed they never received them. Eventually, they outright told us to sue them, fully aware that their size and resources could overwhelm us with legal paperwork and prolong the process, costing us far more than they owed. It was a clear example of a large corporation strong-arming smaller businesses.

That’s wicked. I already don’t trust Walmart as it is.
Sadly that checks out. Walmart isnt the only one either. Many large businesses do this.
Honestly, I would've sent the invoice via certified mail so that someone working for the company would have to sign off saying they recieved the invoice. Though I'm sure Walmart's lawyers would still try to argue that wasnt proof that they recieved it...
As a former large corporate consultant at a bank, other large corps have done the same. It's disgusting. File 1099's and UCCs against them. Cheaper and better than lawyers having the IRS handle your outstanding income and their debt.
The U.S. economy relies on ongoing credit and debt generation for sustenance. The Federal Reserve is expected to increase the money supply, leading to further debt accumulation for the average American. Meanwhile, foreign nations continue to desire the U.S. dollar, despite their own economies facing significant challenges, some even worse than that of the U.S. This situation raises concerns about who will ultimately bear the consequences of these economic dynamics.
They do say gold will crash in a liquidity crunch However, many of those holding precious metals are preparing for such an event. So they are unlikely to be forced sellers. The paper market would tank and hopefully collapse.
I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I appreciate giving an investment coach the power of decision-making. Given their specialised expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centred on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavourable developments, it is practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over 1.5 million dollars working with an investment coach for more than two years.
this is all new to me, where do I find a fiduciary, can you recommend any?

My husband makes me so mad, he always chooses Publix to go shopping at despite them being an absolute rip off. He doesnt like shopping at Aldi, so he doesn't go there.
And I told him that this is why I handle the grocery shopping.
I never allowed my husband to go grocery shopping for the family. We finally separated, bc the bigger issue was that he was horrible w money.
I love Aldi! 🥰

I thought I would never be grocery shopper at Walmart. Six months ago I bought a few things and the price drop was so noticeable. Its now my go place.
Walmart is cornering the market. So when ALL other options are gone they will raise their prices and most will starve. Wakey wakey
Yes I prefer Kroger choices and lay out and staff but Walmart prices and convenience of Walmart plus delivery
Let’s be honest people avoid Walmart for the “Walmart Crowd”
@@Bosfootball my mom hates Walmart and prefers to go to Save-A-Lot instead. I don't mind Walmart, but I'll probably go to Homeland first before the former. Obviously if money is really tight (and it has been for awhile) I'll go to Walmart.
Yep, That’s how they destroy communities over time. Lowball the prices now, wait quietly for the competition to fizzle out, all while siphoning up the local money to funnel right back to their upper end instead of back into the area. Before you know it you’re just that branch closing down away from being in a food desert and they have free rein to either creep the prices back up or the working conditions down.
The worst part is the people working hardest are getting the least remuneration for their efforts and then shamed in the media for not taking more hours, more work despite the poverty wages. 40% of people in work need state support. That’s a reflection of greed not poor work ethics by working people. This is being done by design, by greed.
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate and stocks..
I’ve been diligently working, saving and contributing towards early retirement and financial freedom, but since covid outbreak, the economy so far has caused my portfolio to underperform, do I keep contributing to my 401k or look at alternative sectors to meet my goals?
Understanding your financial needs and making effective decisions is very essential. If I could advise you, you should seek the help of a financial advisor. For the record, working with one has been the best for my finances...
How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.

We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead.

I love people like you. You just lower your standards and pretend as though it's not only normal, but the most intelligent thing you've done all your life.
It's sad how difficult things have become in this recessive economy. I was wondering how to utilize some money I had. I used some of it for e-commerce business, but that sank. I'm thinking of how to protect my $150K-worth stock portfolio from decline, but haven't figured which way to go.
I do not disagree, there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such execution are usually carried out by investment experts or advisors with experience since the 08' crash.
I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financlal future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?
Annette Christine Conte is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
Thank you for the lead. I searched her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
Woman tried to run me down at WM last week. I took too long (1 min) to load my groceries and she wanted the parking spot. So, she tried to kill me. Makes sense.
So, you met my ex-wife?
You should have loaded everything and went right back in the store lol people get on my nerves. 🥲
I had a woman get pushy with me because the self checkout wasn't giving me a receipt fast enough. I called her impatient right to her face.
That's why I go shopping at night, I have been doing that for like 10 years and really went late during COVID like at 10pm it was great, no people around. I even used to go at like midnight but stores started to close earlier with inflation in the last few years.
I just order my groceries on the Walmart app and go to the grocery pickup line to get my order every week. Too many crazy people go there so I don’t ever risk going inside. I’m in and out of the property within 10 mins everytime
I bought 10 pairs of WalMart sandals, slides, and tennis shoes for my family for $1-3 each at Walmart. Regular prices between $14.98-$29.98. I bought mens cargo shorts for $3-9/pair, regularly $24.98-$29.98 each. The associate doing the markdowns told me they jardly sold any shoes all summer and she had 40 pallets of them to mark down😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
I’ll be honest with you, a lot of people do not want to pay the full price for the quality. Many are shopping other shoes that are more expensive yes but higher quality. They will even buy used at that point. I myself avoid Walmart because I hate the store and the corporate.
The random huge discounts on overstocked items is one of my favorite things about walmart. Ive gotten some crazy stuff for a fraction of the price it should be
Wow, good score. Interesting. It shows people are hurting in this economy.
Walmart shoes are so uncomfortable
@@darcymoon2109I got a pair of happy face slides for the pool and gardening that are like wearing marshmallows on my feet! Not everything is uncomfortable.
Aldi absolutely beats everyone else here in my town in NE Texas. Absolutely love Aldi!!!!
Yes love aldi too. I'm in SE TX, northwest of Houston.
I live in Northern Virginia and I only use Costco and Aldis. The only other major store is a Krogers brand which is way to high.
@HistoricLife my 3 main stores are Aldi, Costco and Kroger as well. We have a family of 8, so I just use Kroger to stock up on loss leaders and fuel points and try to buy everything else at the other 2. Although I do occasionally have a few things I get at Walmart too.
@@HistoricLife Costco is more expensive than Sam's Club.
@@rgrcooper I don't like Walmart or Sam's Club. The quality is not good on their meat or frozen products. I understand some folks don't have a choice and I am not judging, but I would rather buy better quality items.
My husband and I did that market study years and years ago. We buy most of our groceries at Walmart. What I have noticed the past couple years is that the Equate, Great Value, and anything else with high value/cost ratio is regularly sold out.
We lived in a small town in Denver area before Walmart. There was lots of mom and pops. 5 years after they opened, about half the mom and pops closed.
So what? It seems your neighbors didn't like getting gouged by the mom and pop stores.
It is called "The Walmart Effect"
This has been long known & understood by Walmart.
Initially, they undercut local businesses to bring in customers. This takes customers away from mom & pop's causing many to close.
Once market domination is achieved, Walmart raises prices.
Modern America is boring. It's a copy/paste format all across this nation with strip malls, Starbucks, single family homes, apartments and condos. The soul of America has burnt out a long time ago. We have no real identity anymore.
Some mom and pop places join a large franchise like IGA they get them better prices with buying power of a larger chain but they still own the store and run it day to day.
@@fred-ts9pb Weird comment. Who said ma and pa stores were gouging in this guy's town.
Walmart has always been cheaper than most places, no surprise there. What is a surprise is a few years ago Walmart began to test a pricing scheme where a particular item, let's say their Great Value food storage bags, which comes in various counts like 25, 50, or 75 in a box... They must've figured out that most people buy the larger count boxes because they think they're saving money, and in the past that was true, but Walmart was and probably still is cashing in on this consumer phenomenon by increasing the price of the larger quantity boxes while the smaller quantities are cheaper, don't believe me next time you go to Walmart take the price of something and divide it by the ounces or quantity, then do the same for the larger and smaller ones. You might find a particular item is cheaper in the smaller size or quantity.
I have done that occasionally and have seen that some smaller sized packages were less costly per ounce.
There is literally a “cost per ounce” listed in the corner of most price tags at Wally.
@@michaeldalton8374 If you can find the tag. The other problem is the same product many times will be measured differently to get the final price, depending on size or flavor making it impossible to compare.
Walmart delivery my town $99/yr $9.95 delivery fee UNLESS you spend more than $35/then free. Online pages show you exactly what items are per oz/lb, etc and yes sometimes larger quantities aren't always cheaper per item/ounce/lb BUT the data is readily displayed. Single guy here, no kids, etc and I save plenty spending $35/over shopping and no time in the STORE! Even have set up a robo-advisor ACH to buy their stock monthly in small increments with the estimated savings. Its been paying off since 2019 ...
Yea. Most Places do post the price per unit in the price

I used to a great store and then the owner died, and his three "children" took it over. It was a discount store when it started. I actually met him.
My wife and I have a very high combined salary, but one thing has remained a constant over the last 5 years - we shop at Aldi 95% of the time. I don't understand why anyone is shopping at Whole Food's, Publix, etc. Most grocery stores need a reality check big time, especially Publix. Publix pricing is egregious. Last time I shopped there, we needed a few extra last minute items for a BBQ and it's a 2 minute drive versus 20 minutes to Aldi. Walked out of there $60 lighter, and all I got was some sodas, charcoal and produce. That would've been maybe $30 at Aldi.
You cant get good quality organic goods at aldis
YES!
Publix is good for it’s BOGO’s
They don't sell the Emperor's new clothes at Aldi, is the issue. The comments are crawling with people who think there's something wrong with the produce at Walmart, and there isn't. Maybe your local Walmart is messed up, that's a you problem. These people would have to let go of some real nasty classism in order to save a buck on cereal, and they can't do it.
I live in Central Oregon. We don't have Aldi or Publix. We have Winco and Costco for better prices than Safeway, Fred Meyer or Whole Foods.
When I was in college, I always thought "once I'm making six figures, I'm never going to shop at walmart again. I can't WAIT for that!"

Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

But the Fed meeting today told me food is only up 2%! /s 🤪

I think there are 2 massive money sinks everyone has, thats housing, and insurance. Be it health, auto, home ,etc. Those 2 things are going up at incredible levels, and they are not offering anything extra. Then, you see wages are nearly stagnant. The 2 costs that need to come down are housing and insurance, and i only see that happening 1 of 2 ways. The government gets involved (which is never good and they wont anyway) or people collapse on 1 of those 2 costs, likely insurance.
I hate Walmart
I don't, everytime I shop online/free delivery and my stocks stay strong ... hate is such a childishly immature emotion, smh
There is too much people for me I prefer regular local grocery store or Aldi’s is better. Best option is farmers markets or local farms if you can afford it.
I'm with you on that
I needed a box fan and some containers for my garden. I went to Goodwill thinking those items would be around $5. A USED box fan at good will was $10. Rubbermaid containers were $5.99 each. At goodwill!!!!!!! I unfortunately went to Walmart and got those same items brand new for less due to roll back pricing. I’ve never been a Walmart shopper until this year. As a single person working two jobs just to get by I fear for our future because I do t know how single moms or blue collar families are going to continue if this crap doesn’t change.
Yep. Even Goodwill is raising their prices on used items that they receive for free
goodwill shot themselves in the foot raising prices. in these tough times, if they slashed all prices by 50-70% across the board, theyd see record profits like they have never seen before

For a few months now I have been searching tirelessly for information on how to start investing. I even payed $400 for a course that I now consider useless. It appears that there is no structured guide for beginners on how to start properly in this realm. I’ve came across several investors making well over $250k/annual and I would be grateful if anyone on here could provide insights on how to get started, identity potential stocks, when to make an entry, exit etc
Best thing is to carry out extensive research and be on top of current events. Know how current events can alter share prices and apply logic over your emotions. This is what worked for me. Best of luck
In order to make profits from trading you need loads of experience and a well defined strategy, which most traders don't have. If you trade without the proper preparation, you're most likely to lose your money. Identify the buy/sell ratios and identify the market leaders and most importantly. Diversify! this will help you spread risk.
it's all about finding the right moment to take advantage of and generate colossal profit, which is why you need to do your research
"Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a market analyst for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.".
Could you let me know how I can get assistance from your advisor? I need help with allocating my portfolio right now.
The belief that the Federal Reserve would stop raising interest rates was the driving force behind the entire economic chaos. What should we do now that we have a situation where interest rates are crashing? At this point, how would you suggest that I safely allocate $300k?
Although the market is currently volatile, aren't the current valuations a result of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and low interest rates? Therefore, my recommendation is that you consult a financial advisor who can give you entry and exit points for the shares that you are interested in.
Agreed, my portfolio is well-matched for every market season yielding 85% from early last year to date. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take another year. IMO, financial advisors are the most sought-after professionals after doctors.

Aldi's beats Walmart on pricing.
The U6 number that counts discouraged workers is at 7.9%. This is more of an accurate reflection of the true unemployment rate.
I find that funny because there's an Aldis in a Walmart right next to each other that that's around me and I go to Walmart because they are actually cheaper than the Aldi's
Aldi's cheaper here. Good thing too. I refuse to go to Walmart.
I miss aldis
But what you really want to look at is participation rate. It’s fallen from 66-67% down to 62%. That’s about 8-10 million who have dropped out. So the U6 is actually waaay understating the unemployment crisis.
Reality is we’ve been at near depression level unemployment for many years. So sad.
I go to Walmart when the economy is good or when it is bad. Walmart is almost never beaten on price and quality is acceptable.
The oldest price history for that yellow house was a sale in 2019 for $100k. The asking price was $139k.
It sold again after seven months for $202k. Seems like a flip.
And after two months for sale in August of 2024 at ~$320, the listing was removed.

limited, yes, but in a way that makes it work. Sure, we go to walmart, HyVee, or an asian grocery store every now and then to get speciality items but Aldi is our foundation. If you don't want to save 20-40% on 80-90% of your groceries, then clearly you're wealthy or dont value financial freedom.
What if all the millionaires, billionaires, trillionaires gave up 10% of all their earnings to the rest of us. Like really, what do you need all that money for in the first place, you're already set for more than one life while the rest of us can barely make this one life.

I try to shop only discounted items, and my family has had to seriously cut down, particularly on meats. Anyway, at the till, i scanned the meats first. What I purchased was a single 1lb chub of ground beef, a small rotisserie chicken, a package of breakfast sausage (26 sausages), two packets of Great Value bacon, and a package of 6 chicken breasts. It all rang up to $98. Almost $100. I hate going grocery shopping because it seems like every trip is more disheartening than the last 😢
Try not to eat so much meat.!lentils beans tvp tofu mushrooms eggplant can all give you full feeling...not to mention eggs.better for you too!
I only eat once a day. Been 3 days since I ate. Feeling great.
The same items at our Gastonia, North Carolina Walmart cost about $45.00 usd plus tax. So about $50.00 usd or $70.44 cdn dollars after tax.
Id buy meat here in Texas if I could get that much for that price 😂
Why are you eating so much meat? Processed meat especially is simply not good for you.
I now shop Walmart weekly for groceries. I recently moved to another state. There are 3 grocery store options + Walmart in 5 mile area. Walmart is by far the least expensive. There are a handful of brand specific items that Walmart doesn't carry that I pick up at Safeway on the way home.
After my car insurance, home insurance, general grocery inflation, etc... we are broke. FJB
The problem is both parties are allowing these corporations to raise prices so they can have endless profitable quarterly earnings
@@cxMLG No party is supposed to set prices, other than Communist Party. They are selling you in a different way - by providing "too big to fail" golden parachute for financial institutions, so they are willing to take extreme risks without actually risking anything - a taxpayer and their children will cover the loss.
As if Biden has anything to do with it. He is just a front man for the uniparty. Duh. God, I swear, the propaganda works so well on the feeble minded.

You don't need no stinkin' insurance!
I haven’t gotten a raise in three years. Fortunately I do have a job and own a home. Still, I have cut my grocery budget and don’t go out to eat much, but I feel blessed. My heart goes out to those who are stretched thinner.
Better meat, better produce, better bread IS NOT at Walmart
SURVIVE
Well at least you don't have to choose between leaving the eggs or the stake on the shelves at Walmart 😂
We grow our own produce and purchase our meat at the farm down the road. But for all other items, we shop at Walmart. Best prices, best selection hands down.
When people have no cash they aren’t looking for quality they look to survive
Substandard poisonous supposed food .. Walmart should be last store to go to for food...
Aldi is the best place to stretch your dollar.
They def have some good deals.
Also some of their food is really high end.cheese and nuts especially.thank god for the germans(never thought i d say that..Im a Brit expat in the usa) and the choceur brand chocolate is fab...as a Brit I cant stand the crap quality of american chocolate.I d be very depressed without Aldi.
I would never buy meat from Walmart. Walmart’s produce is bad. The only thing I get from Walmart is name brands.
Yeah. I don’t trust Walmart foods.
@@ronniewoods582 most of what I get from Walmart is generic.
Absolutely
Tyson mass farm produced garbage meat.
Exactly. Haven't purchased that funny meat in yearssss.
My mother is 95 and she switched from Publix to Walmart. Old dogs are smart, and they most certainly can learn new tricks.
Keep in mind folks Publix is a employee owned company unlike Walmart. Employees own 85% of the company. Plus Publix has way better produce, cleaner and lines are waaaay smaller
I met a guy who worked at Publix in South Florida for 20 years and he made more money than I ever would have imagined. He owns a home in Boca Raton!
I wish Publix would come to the west coast.
Recently learned that Walmart doesn’t allow Apeel or Organipeel on their brands, which is great because all the other large chains are accepting produce with those chemicals. On the west coast, Winco is cheaper than Walmart and an employee owned company so we prefer to shop there. The only downside is they are cash or debit only. If people are living on credit cards, they can’t purchase there.
@@siouxrose7766we have a regional burger chain in PNW and the managers make more than nonprofit executives with PhDs here! I love when companies invest in their employees. Some of the managers have been there for 30 years 🎉
My father-in-law works for Publix.. He doesn't own one dime of it 🤣🙄
LIDL and ALDI are amazing - about 30% or more less than Publix or Stop & Shop - probably about 50% or less than Whole Foods.
Lidl is better quality than Aldi with much larger selection.
Money does not mean anything when you are not eating QUALITY food. Great value will unalive you faster than spending an extra .50 per item
Better cheap food than no food at all.
That’s the whole point. People can’t afford better.
If it's in a jar or can , or box it doesn't matter what brand it is. It's all processed food, full of junk n not that good for you.
@@CreditR01actually it’s pretty healthy to fast and most Americans could eat far less and eat higher quality foods.
@@joycehauke6027Agree on box and cans but pickled vegetables in a glass jar like sauerkraut, Kimchi, ginger, coconut oil ect. is quite good for you. Gut friendly probiotics.
Up here in Alaska on the Kenai Peninsula, it’s cheaper to buy Kirkland brand food in bulk at our version of Costco.
Everything has to be shipped up here from the lower 48 so prices are ridiculous high up here.
Aldi, and Walmart, if I have time it's gonna be Aldi 100 percent of the TIME!
I often use Instacart to shop Aldi here.
Though be careful with toiletries, their women’s deodorant and dove soap was like a dollar more than Walmart. I keep the Walmart app open when I go to Aldi just to double check
The Aldi in my neighborhood has not opened yet. I will definitely check it out once they open soon.
I wish I had an aldi to shop at.
The Aldi’s around me suck. I shop Walmart
I often wonder how people cope in this economy! How do people thrive, even in retirement? Since 401ks are nothing to write home about! My $800k dwindled to $250k in no time. I'm 54, will I work till God calls me?
I worked until 62, I was at the top of my income game, liked my work, and we could both go on Medicare. I ALMOST fell into the “only one more year” trap.

I’m an extreme couponer and DONT like to shop at Walmart. I shop at Dillon’s “Kroger own store “ I use digital & paper coupons plus as many apps that gives rebates= cash.
But don’t you have to buy an extreme amount of items for those coupons to be of use? It’s just two of us in our home and having a lot of items we’d never use doesn’t make any sense to us
1.) People want good tasting food.
2.) People want nutritious food, much of which is fresh, frozen, etc.
3.) People want some food that is more convenient to prepare.
4.) People want cheap food (that is filling, tasty and healthy).
5.) People want to shop at places that are not too far from their homes.
6.) People want some food that is more durable.
The grocery stores that will survive will figure out how many of these things that they can deliver on-if not all of them, then most of them. And we, the consumer, will keep shopping around.
Personally….
1.) Pasture raised eggs are important to consume, unless people are allergic, etc.
2.) Liquid vitamin D3 is important to consume where there is not much sunlight.
3.) Wild caught salmon is important to consume a few to several times a month or so…
4.) Pasture raised chicken is a good idea, at least once or twice a week.
5.) Peanut butter. No salt, no sugar. 👍 (Unless someone is allergic)
6.) Pasture raised or organic turkey- also a good idea.
7.) Pork is a better idea than many people realize. Even uncured bacon and sausage are not bad choices…
8.) Veggies, esp. frozen, organic, etc., yes.
9.) Fruit- organic - yes.
10.) Nuts, seeds - yes.
11.) Beans - yes.
12.) Herbs/spices - yes.
13.) Purified water - yes.
14.) Herbal tea - yes.
15.) Multivitamin supplements - not a bad idea
Best I can do is top ramen and an energy drink. Good luck, peasants!
Im 26, last time I remember going to a walmart was when I was a teenager. I cannot afford anything there now as an adult. I am lucky to be working a job where I make more money than my peers. I get my groceries at Aldi and anything I need for the house I get at thrift stores. I dont have rhe best paying job, but I make more than most of my friends. I dont understand how they are surviving when im living paycheck to paycheck. Something has got to change, but it doesnt seem like nobody in government cares...
Campbell soup is poison, American bread is poison too. Mom and Pop stores are finished in Florida
Have you seen the You Tube podcast by Dr. Dhand? He says U.S. food is killing its population.
Red meat is a Class 2 carcinogen.
People in the US are living longer than ever. And we have more people over 90 years old and over 100 years old than any other country. I guess it is the pollution and rotten food and lack of health care.
They are good price comparison points to use when looking at different stores though. Stuff like fresh meat and produce prices vary drastically even between counties or states. Canned soup and bread should remain similar enough to at least be comparable.
From the look of things they’re certainly on their last legs in Tennessee too. A freaking dollar general on seemingly every other corner outside of the big cities.
I used to go to Publix and I think the Pandemic was their excuse for raising prices. I now shop at Trader Joe.
Some comparisons:
1. Kale salad is $3.29 at Trader Joe and $4.99 at Publix
2. 2 burritos at Trader Joe's are $3.99 and just ONE Amy's burrito is nearly that much at Publix.
3. 5 small chicken drumsticks are usually less than $4 at Trader Joe's, and closer to $5.50 at Publix
4. Trader Joe has a very good red Cabernet wine for $7.99 and anything comparable at Publix is $11.99
Trader Joe has better fruit prices, too.
I never feel that Walmart produce is fresh and in case people did not know, they irradiate their meat.
Irratiate their meat?
Now's my chance to get a real taste of the Fallout universe
I miss Trader Joe’s!! My closest one now is just under 3 hours away. 😢
-@@gypsybelle4757 --Just had to evacuate so the motel is near Trader Joe's, a plus. My area may not get power for a week and Florida temps are still close to 90. My dog can't handle it.
It is much worse in coastal cities here in Florida, the cost of EVERYTHING had quadruped while the wages are lower than the central cities. We spend less going out to eat in a central city. They think us local coastal residents make the same income as wealthy tourists, so some places jack up the prices. Wages seem much lower in a tourist town. Problems are magnified here.

To be fair, Publix makes really great bread.
And subs. Publix subs are delicious.
I haven’t shopped at Walmart in 15 years. The richest people in the world and they treat their employees so badly financially therefore I decided I wasn’t gonna make them any more money for the rest of my life.
Publix prices been up. But you're paying for the selection, customer service, and not having to shop at Walmart.
Aldi is where you get the best deals tho

My advise to anyone holding cryptocurrency right now is to invest it and earn upto 70 times of the initial capitals. Holding cryptocurrency will make it reduce because once the price goes down it will definitely go down as well but when you invest it, you won’t have to worry about anything
I never understood why prices are so expensive. Even in the UK i have never had issue with food prices. It makes me question the legitimacy of media
It's not longer news cost of living is real and it's a global situation every one is talking about without giving a right solution on how to savaged through this situation, i have sat down and think. In the same environment where we have people doing two jobs but still struggling to make a living there are still people living successful financial life, that's why In these uncertain times, it's more important than ever to have a solid understanding of how to manage your finances because even the bank is insured, invest wisely and navigate economic downturns, investing with the little you have can give you a future you don't need to work again, i pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life too 🙏🙏🙏
That's true, there is never any culture of wealth gathering or wealth creation to keep multiplying your finance that lacks an investment value Instead of saving money in the bank .
You're absolutely right, you've remind me of what someone once said "The mind is the man, the poor is in it and the rich is it too". This sentence is the secret of most successful investors. I once attended similar and ever since then been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth..investment is the key that can secure your family future.
that's why I always urge everyone to start investing somewhere now no matter how small, this is literally the time for that, forget material things, don't get tempted,i became more better the moment i realized this.
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don't know who agrees with me but either way I recommend having investment
yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate Investment without a proper guidance of a good financial advisor can lead to a great loss too
It's no a longer a recession; we are headed towards a Depression. When I see friends of mine who make six figures, and they are cutting their budget to bare minimum; you know it's bad
Most people with six figures were living beyond means to begin with.

They should have caught up with less or no debt, less spending, and more saving/investing and living within means.
People are their own worse enemy financially.
I have always saved/invested since 15 and lived within means avoiding debt since 18.
Doing fine.
@@blackworldtraveler3711 again… nice that you missed the point. You can only save and live within your means so much that you won’t be able to live if wages or inflation doesn’t change

Walmart food is hit and miss. Never buy meats there.
Exactly! I'll never eat their meat.
Never buy anything that spoils from Walmart because I use to work overnights
Why not
@@SorryDudeImBroke That meat is rank, it's probably the bottom of the barrel and the lowest quality the government allows to be sold. WalMart does not do quality.
No one who shopped at Whole Foods is now shopping as Walmart. We shopped at regular grocery stores five years ago and we are still shopping at regular grocery stores and I am retired on a fixed income.
I refuse to buy Walmart. They hurt my community. I’ll pay more to support smaller owners. Big picture! Don’t buy at Walmart
meh zfg ... worked hard all my life, WM saves me a ton in my retirement
Older bread that's why it's a dollar. The sigh above says 3.98
It's not older it was never marked down, that's the original price original sticker on the bag. Says $1.00
That bread is always a dollar at Walmart. There's a whole wall of those loaves fresh daily.
Nope. I bought a fresh sliced Italian loaf for $1 yesterday. In the meantime Great Value white bread is $1.50 and Wonder Bread is approaching $4. Bakery fresh for $1 makes sandwiches too
Its heartening to see other people talking about how hard it's been lately I thought I was going crazy. My family puts my husband and I down for not wanting to blow thousands of dollars on a tiny overpriced box where My rent will keep going up out of my control. They tell us we are too boney but we are doing our best to afford food. Can't even afford to buy fast food these days
I work in a major retail store. Prices have gone up ,Sales are most definitely down .
Walmarts even become cheaper than Aldi over where I live which is crazy to me. Aldis eggs were always the affordable go-to, but now Walmarts are about 40 cents cheaper.
That’s by design. They’ve been steadily losing a decent market share
My friend is a manager at Walmart. They set prices at each individual store. Your store is probably setting their prices to try and compete with Aldi. They call it their “competitive pricing strategy”. They do this to try and put all other stores out of business and then after they do this they raise the prices. They do this over and over in communities.
Unfortunately, not all of us were financially literate early. I was 35 when I finally educated myself and started taking steps. I went from $176,000 in debt with zero savings or retirement to now, 2 years later, fully debt-free and over $1000,000 net worth. I know that doesn't SOUND like a lot, but I'm incredibly proud of it. Now I'm fast-tracking my wealth building (investing $400,000 annually) and don't owe a dime to anyone. It's a good feeling!
I want to start too but i don't know how..
Lol, what strategy do you use please?

I’m spending twice as much on groceries than I was 4 years ago. It’s ridiculous!
Everybody is, there’s no good Expiration Dates anymore, so whatever you buy you better use it or lose it.
@@Solitaryman70 it’s true.
I chose to just cook food from as close to from scratch as possible and also I generally eat 50% of what I use to. Convenience is now so overly priced it was all I could think of.
They are not the cheapest place to buy groceries. HEB and Joe V's have better deals. Walmart meat is nasty. Walmart also cheats on weights: bread that is supposed to be 20oz but is 17 oz. They still weight meat with 2 or 3 oz of saline in the meat pad beneath the meat. Be happy to show you the photos.
You are correct
I used to work at ChynaMart back in the day & you wouldn't believe what they do to their food, yes it's that disgusting! Produce-Tomatoes are stored in the frozen cooler taken out in a.m, they're mushy & have bugs, they don't rotate the food by dates, WATCH THE DATES!! I could go on & on about that place....awful! 👍 😝
I totally believe you 💯.
Love HEB! When I visit my boys in Lubbock, we always go to HEB for their yummy butter tortillas. Wish we could import one to Utah! Go Texas, show the rest of the US what to do.
I consume a couple of pounds of beef per month by default from not growing up in a household of food. I use it for flavor mostly. However, I spend about 60$ per month on ground beef as part of homemade dog food. Natural Grocers is an organic store that sells a brand of hamburger titled Thousand Hills. It is grass fed from birth to slaughter. I could drive 50 miles to save one $ per pound, but I still don't trust those local ranchers to not feed GMO grain just prior to slaughter. It took much research to reach this knowledge. I appreciate your posting of indisputable information.
I shop at Trader Joe’s. Always. Walmart is bad for communities honestly and siphons out money which would normally stay in that community. Also… it’s ghetto
If you want to see the worst people in your local community, go to your local Walmart.
It's cheaper than the freak show at the carnival.
Please give your definition of the word ghetto.
@@jasonknox1268 trash
Trader Joe’s has pretty great prices for certain things, not everything, but some things
I live in Florida and started to shop @ Walmart for veggies and fruit. Avocado comparison Walmart vs Publix ( $.75 vs $1.25) says it all. And the list goes on.
I go to Walmart almost everyday. Prices are cheaper but still higher than a few years ago.
I also go to Publix at times. Quality of produce and ppl in general is better than Walmart.
As a practice Walmart usually starts at 50 cents to a dollar higher than that areas minimum wage.
Every day? Might consider their $99/yr home delivery subscription - over $35 delivery free otherwise $9.95. Also free shipping on alot of items comes with the subscription, signed up 01/2019 and haven't stepped in a store since, SUPER timesaver!
We shifted to Walmart because it’s closer to us.
We are tired of driving 20 miles to save a dollar.
And if you know what to look for there are a few people car camping in the parking lot!
I might do car camping.
$1,400. for a 1 bed 1 bath apartment.
i could be saving that
@@MarandalThe 20s all over again
Publix is always found in rich neighborhoods.
An example I saw of this was our apple cider. The Kroger cider is terrible in quality, but only $4 for a half-gallon. Meanwhile our luxury brand was of a much, much higher quality and was very enjoyable to have. But because it was $6, almost nobody bought them. Seriously, last week we sold, on average, three of the luxury cider per day. That's two boxes a week for an item that's in extremely high demand right now
