If you’re looking to find a deal on school supplies, Walmart is the place to go. A new analysis from Bloomber Industries found Walmart prices to be 10-percent cheaper on average than on similar items at Target. The report from Bloomberg was based on the prices of about 50-identical goods, and found that Walmart’s prices were 50-percent lower than Kmart’s prices and 45-percent lower than Staples. Bloomberg analysts say that the back-to-school pricing battle is particularly important to retailers, as it can make or break how a consumer perceives each retail brand. (Yahoo)
