    I buy most of my groceries at a local employee owned chain. It’s amazing how they were able to avoid so much of the massive increase in costs that larger chains were experiencing. It’s like they had a completely different supply chain that wasn’t anywhere near as inflated. Oh sure, certain brands seemed to be going way up in price, but other items from competing brands didn’t. Meanwhile at Walmart, everything went way up in price, and at a much faster pace. Weird how that works.

    I guess the giant monopolies must not have the resources and experience required to run an efficient business. How else can you explain the disparity?

      Ooooh, I’m pretty sure I know the employee owned chain you speak of because I shop there too. I started going when some of Safeway’s prices mysteriously doubled for no apparent reason. I’m so happy I made the switch. Those greedy pigs at Safeway did me a favor.
