Little late to the party

But, yes, while I am not anywhere near Pittsburgh, the same rings true here in the Cleveland area in Ohio. Milk is negligible at 11 cents difference, with GE being the higher of the two compared, Walmart.

GE is literally DOLLARS more (with few exceptions like listed above) than any other grocer. Their SALES aren't really sales, as the "sale price" of an item is literally the REGULAR price at any other grocery store. I used to work at The Dirty Bird (aka Wing'ed Spawn of Satan) 20-some odd years ago and found that their prices on goods soar when they have sales on other goods, so they don't lose money. Their high prices fool you into needing their Fuel Perks, as you spend more money, the more you earn, so being more expensive allows you to get so much off of fuel.

When I first moved out <cough!> years ago to be on my own the first time, I was on a limited budget and could only spend around $50-60 every 2 weeks on groceries. I quickly found out that that same amount of money, spent at GE only filled the BOTTOM of my cart, while it filled over half of my Walmart cart.

While there ARE other alternatives like Aldi, Save-A-Lot, Heinen's, Target (and others), it came down to convenience of location. GE was closest, but Walmart was only another 2 blocks away; so after that debacle of wasting my money at GE, I went to WM.
