<competitition had prevented retailers from passing on cost increases to their customers, the report said>

WMT cuts back significantly on on discounting, same store sales are up "only 0.7%" and it's called, "not being able to pass costs on to customers". Sorry, but by my math, plus 0.7% is an increase in sales, not a decrease, thus they are are selling for more, pure and simple.
