Walmart practices the same profit-maximizing as any other corporation. Soda is 3.38 
a 12 pack. You can get it cheaper on sale at supermarkets and gas stations. 
They have other items that are just as expensive as the supermarket. You will 
see real deals, but have no doubt there's a strategy involved in their aisles. 
Obviously, from their 100's billion profits, they could really drop food 
prices and still be profitable if low-costs were a true objective...
