Cost is more food; WMT is more clothes." They actually sell about the same mix of stuff. The difference is that Costco sells mass, family size portions of stuff, where WalMart sells individual items. For a single guy like me, a lot of what Costco sells would go bad before I ever consumed it. Otherwise I'd never shop WalMart. The experience is crap. I think if you look at the actual numbers you will find with COST that food is a bigger percentage of its gross. Its changing but WMT is still listed as an apparel store and COST a food store.
