Via Eighty-Twenty, we find a monster article on the prices of the two discounters on cockeyed.com. Comparing 20 items, Wal-Mart came out ahead $4.89, for a savings of about 4% over Target:
It was fun to compare prices in Target and Walmart. Obviously a 20-item test isn't a particularly thorough price-comparison, but I'm satisfied that these results will help to illuminate the difference in these two discount retail chains.I'm glad there are people out there crazier than I am.I really tried to be as impartial as possible, but with statistics, it is almost impossible to describe a situation without a bias.
The obvious next comparison is the newly-merged K-Smears, but I think I'll check how Amazon stacks up first.
Thank you.
