A Wal-Mart large enough for a grocery might have enough reductions in cost both in employees and volume buying from the lowest cost sellers to sell for significantly less, but 25% reduction on products that have a typical profit margin of 3% seems a stretch, intuitively.

They can really knock down the "rice crispy" type of item. For instance, I buy Nabisco Chocolate Chunk cookies at Wal Mart for $2.77. They are $3.95 at Safeway. Safeway is $3.50 a gallon for milk. Wal Mart is $3.00. If you get into non-food grocery, the difference is astounding.
