Default OT No mention of gardens but....

"JoeSpareBedroom" expounded:

Tell me something, Bill: If you buy a box of cereal for $3.00 at WM, and a
friend points out that the same exact box of cereal costs $2.69 at the
grocery store all the time, without a sale going on, what would you say?

If that were true, I'd buy it at the grocery store. In our case one
kind we buy is cheaper at Market Basket, the other at Walmart. So we
buy it where it's cheapest.

Let's extend this: If your local newspaper took a big shopping list to WM
and two grocery stores, and found that both grocery stores were
significantly cheaper than WM for the exact same list of items, what would
be your reaction to that?


Duh.
