This Thanksgiving, Give Thanks to Wal-Mart

Like the puritans who bit the Native American hand that fed them, so-called champions of the poor like John Edwards and Ted Kennedy continue their campaign of hatred against Wal-Mart. Even though Wal-Mart is doing more to help the poor than they ever will. Seriously, the company is practically giving away its products.

Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, has already cut prices on toys, appliances, electronics and apparel to attract more holiday shoppers. Now, it is trimming prices on hundreds of fresh and dry grocery items.

The retailer said that the price of many food items would be lowered by as much as 20 percent. Some items were discounted more heavily.

The prices of some items for Thanksgiving dinners are being slashed. A six-ounce box of Stove Top stuffing sells for 88 cents, down from $1.44 to $1.74 per box. A can of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce is now 88 cents, down from $1.14 to $1.36.

Among the other rollbacks, a 26.4-ounce pack of boneless skinless chicken breasts from Pilgrim's Pride Corp., Tyson Foods Inc. or Perdue will now sell for $4.74, or $2.87 per pound, down from $5.35, or $3.34 per pound.
