And Pre-Covid they were in a tough fight with Amazon and Target (which also sells the same prepackaged crap) in the US. I think Loblaws competes decently in Canada.

I do some of my grocery shopping at Walmart and I think they do a reasonably good job of covering the things that most people will need on a regular basis. The depth of selection is not the greatest so if you need a particular type of truffle oil or gluten-free breadcrumbs you will have to go somewhere else, but they carry the normal range of produce, dairy, meat, etc. that a smaller supermarket would have. Someone committed to healthy eating could easily do so at Walmart.

I remember visiting the Fargo, ND Walmart some 20 years ago and it felt like a Walmart was attached to a Real Canadian Superstore... the grocery section was that big. Yet even now the Canadian Walmart supercentres still have relatively modest grocery areas. About the size of a Safeway from a western perspective. I'm surprised they haven't grown more.
