Wal-mart is one of the retailers that when times get tough, they get moving. Their low prices stand the test of time and are just the thing to lure the shoppers who feel that their wallets are being pinched at the pump and in their mortgage envelopes.
   

In short, the more Americans skid towards financial hardship, the more Wal-mart shoppers there are. That said the store has turned its attention to lowering prices and to sticking to their value formula. So while the apparel selection may not be as fashionable as it once was, it sure offers the lowest prices to those who shop here. We found one new fashion strategy in girls and juniors: Miskits.

This is a line of illustrated cats licensed to apparel by the same artist who created Bobby Jack. Are they going to follow in JC Penney’s footsteps and create a Miskits department in girls and juniors? We think so. Check out our blog on Miskits for more info!
 
 
 
 
 
 


In boys, licenses such as Nascar drivers, baseball and soccer are where it’s at for knit tops and we see the house brand Athletic works winding down their prices on athletic basics. Sleepwear is also a licensed area with Cars and Spiderman up front at over $15 a set and generic sporting PJ sets offered at half of that.
