Wal mart cutting back on seeds.

In article , says... I have this theory that Wal-Mart sells the rejects from companies. *Seems like you can buy a brand-name item at a different store and it will work fine, but if you buy the exact same item at Wal-Mart, it doesn't work. There have been times I have bought small, inexpensive things such as clocks, thermometers, and lamps, only to bring them home and discover they don't work AT ALL. *The only thing I can suspect is that the manufacturers have batches of things that are damaged or defective in some way, and they sell them to WM. If the manufacturers want to sell through Walmart, they have to meet the price Walmart will pay them. Walmart is big enough to call the tune and demand that the piper play without proper pay.That means cutting corners and reducing quality. *IMO a brand name product sold through Walmart should be sold with a "Walmart grade" label on it to indicate that it is a lowered quality item. What are the dates on the seed packets? I always check seed dates, so I know the ChinaMart seeds were current and fresh to me(not last years or any other weird thing). Nan |
