Wal-Mart Cutting Prices On EVERYTHING

PRICE CUTS: Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is trumpeting what it calls a large round of price-cutting on all of its products, including food.

They also note Wal-Mart's prices undercut competitors less than they used to. THE REASON: Analysts say the cuts are Wal-Mart's way of responding to toughened competition.
