From: "Glenn Meadows" 

I don't know about your Super Wal-Mart, but prices have been going up
QUICKLY here, especially on milk, cheese, etc.  We've seen prices on the
packaged shredded cheese go from $1.97 to almost $3.00, along with other
things as well.  Not sure what's going on, but recently we did a run
through Publix, and realized that at least at this point, the prices were
more similar than they used to be.

Other things in the store were far better, but the food is getting very
close to the other stores now.  Competition is a good
thing.....
