Because the “regular” grocery store he’s standing in is clearly selling them for less than that?
Seems like a pretty roastable unforced error to me.
(Also I know not everyone has options around them, but traditional grocers still tend to be cheaper on most grocery items than Walmart or Target, there is in fact a cost to the one stop shop)
Well sure, you can always find examples of something being sold for more than average (whether that’s because of greed, human error, quality of product, or market strategy), but it doesn’t make his statement accurate.
And again, yes I understand that Walmart is selling eggs at around that price point. I’m just saying that if I can regularly find eggs at my local Kroger-owned grocery store for $1 less than Walmart, when Kroger itself is a wannabe monopolistic entity, then Vance is probably stretching the truth as best, if you’re uncomfortable saying he’s lying.

I mean yeah, but not every store sells for that price. The price he mentioned isn’t a lie, it just isn’t true in that exact store.
