 A REAL CLIFF HANGER

"Currently, Kroger is the second-largest grocery store chain in the U.S., while Albertsons is the fourth-largest. Together, the company will control 11.8% of the U.S. grocery business, behind only Walmart (WMT), with a commanding lead at 17.1%. 

I live in Canada, where three grocery store chains: Loblaw Companies (LBLCF), Empire Company (EMLAF), and Metro (MTRAF), control approximately 60% of grocery retail. Costco and Walmart are in fourth and fifth spots at 9% and 8%, respectively.

The Canadian consumer has been quick to blame these three grocery store chains for price gouging, leading to record profits at a time when consumers can least afford it.

In my experience, except for Walmart and Costco, bigger is not better when it comes to prices. "

I find the Great Value brand items at Walmart to offer  great prices.

 I thought you lived in Ohio.

Have you moved after your unfortunate medical issue?
