I nearly bought WMT for myself and the newsletter a few years back when they were way down.... but I decided to load up with AMAT at $15 and save having to write about another stock.

I still watch it and order from them often and take pictures of the packages they send and note what they charge.

They are way behind Amazon in that they can split a single $35 order into three or four free shipments with one being a 20# bag of birdseed for $11 they deliver by itself via FedEx!

They started out using the same prices online as in the stores and found people like me loaded up with that stuff to hit the $35 free shipping threshold... so they added A LOT to many items like 79¢ to a $2.00 Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate bar... so I stopped ordering that stuff online and would get it all at the store when I'd go there to refil my BBQ propane tanks....

My guess is their orders fell off a cliff as Walmart shoppers are different than WHole Paycheck shoppers... since I found this week they lowered the prices back to $2.00 for the candy bars and $3.97 for the sugar free breath mints I suck rather than think about smoking....

They'll have to figure this stuff out.
