Walmart Beats Amazon, A Sign Of Hope — Here’s a personal anecdote to give who to those who fear that Jeff Bezos may become king.
We needed peanut oil. We checked Amazon. It was $40.40 and we got a warning if might arrive after Christmas.
Not good. We went to the Walmart site. The same peanut oil was $32.48.
To get the free next-day shipping we needed $35. The site suggested a few items to bring it up to what was needed. We added a bottle of bleach for $2.67.
One can always use bleach.
So for $5 less than Amazon, Walmart gave us our peanut oil and a bottle of bleach.
And most importantly, it came the next day.
“We needed peanut oil. We checked Amazon.”
What about popping out to the nearest grocery store?
Tried that. No luck.
