For one, the item has a high price compared to other retailers. In fact, Kiplinger did a price check on several Walmart products and discovered that Walmart\u2019s ground beef prices are one dollar per pound higher than at Aldi, the discount grocery chain. Additionally, The Kitchn also did a price comparison with Costco. They found that Walmart\u2019s regular ground beef is a few cents more than Costco\u2019s. However, Walmart organic ground beef costs over a dollar per pound more than Costco\u2019s.<\/p>\n
Despite the increase in price, the quality tends to be lower than other brands. All of the meat from Walmart is prepared and packaged at a meat plant as opposed to a butcher department at the store. Therefore, this meat has treatments with carbon dioxide and saline solution to improve its shelf life but may impact the taste.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the reviews on Walmart\u2019s meat tend to be negative. In a 50,000 people survey. Walmart received more customer complaints than any other chain. About 74% of shoppers had at least one complaint about the chain, about the checkout speed, the store\u2019s cleanliness, and the staff\u2019s courtesy. The store got a good score for its pricing, but customers didn\u2019t like the quality and lack of variety of the food and produce.<\/p>\n
