Walmart will compete on some goods, but at least in my area they’re not really a grocery store. Their selection is much more limited. Some minimal poor quality produce, limited meats (nothing fresh), and few specialty items. You can go to a grocery store and get ingredients for most meals, but you can’t really do that with Walmart.
Absolutely. Walmart is there competition and always has been. I worked for Safeway back in the 2000s and they were always talking about Walmart.

It’s a numbers game. Walmart has very low margins but immense volume. They compete but selling a product 1 cent less and driving the competition out.
