Walmart's Milk Prices

Last night I was shopping at the Walmart in Gilford. I needed one-half gallon of skim milk. I was going to buy the milk when my 88 year old mother stopped me. She suggested that I wait until we stopped at E M Heath's Supermarket in Center Harbor while driving back to Moultonborough. I value her opinion because she has always been a very savvy shopper. The milk at Walmart was $ 2.12. Sure enough the Shurfine brand at Heath's was $ 1.89. I have always believed that the Walmart food prices are high. I have compared prices several times between Walmart Supercenter in Plymouth and Market Basket in Tilton. Market Basket always has the lower prices. I have often wondered about the Walmart food commercials on T.V. They always say that a person will save so much money over time shopping at Walmart vs other major grocery stores. I question what grocery stores they are comparing themselves to. JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT! I don't have any affiliation to either store.
