    The four retailers that I used for my comparison are Target, Dillons, Hyvee, and Walmart. The items I chose to compare at these retailers are 2% milk, Eggs, Turkey, Hot dog buns, Ketchup, Mayo and Brownie mix. I found it interesting to see the different variety from store to store as well as the price differences. The first retailer I went to was Target.

    I can admit that since having a newborn here with a 5 year old it's gotten out of control. Sometimes things make it back in the pantry, and sometimes they don't. With all that being said I needed to organize that eye sore that we call a pantry, and I didn't want to spend a ton!

They did this in an effort to steal customers from them. However, I have noticed that despite the fact that Wal-Mart is a huge and powerful business, they sell cheap products and do not provide good quality jobs. Be that as it may, what is truly going on behind the scenes in this enormous corporation that evokes such great power considering all of the awful claims made about it?…
