Walmart's [] meal this year features nine Great Value private-label brand items out of 15, compared with nine out of 21 brands last year — a higher percentage of in-house brands.

The company accomplished this by subbing in a stuffing mix and sidelining onions, celery and broth.

Those switches allowed for a revamp with the turkey - changing to the well-known Butterball brand (96 cents a pound) from last year's Honeysuckle White (then 88 cents a pound).

The company says its meal kit now costs less than $40 and feeds 10, versus around $56 total to feed eight people last year. This year's 22 items, which include more than one of certain goods like green beans and corn, is down from 29 a year ago. Walmart declined to comment.…”

Someone should ask Trump if he was negotiating to buy 3 acres of real estate and insisted the seller lower his price by 25%, and the Seller said sure but that only 2 acres would come at the new price..............if he would take the new offer because it was a BETTER deal?

Have a hunch, his response would be fascinating because he has no idea that his argument is actually hurting his own claim.
