Sam's Club has done the same thing on most of the items it sells. 
Complaints fall on deaf ears apparently. It now has become an 
assortment, of the lowest cost, highest profit, items. Quality etc has 
not been a consideration. They figure there are so many people somebody 
will buy it. Our visits and purchases have fallen way down. I no longer 
go to browse. I don't need but so much toilet paper and not interested 
in Viet Namese fish and a expensive cheap steak that has apparently been 
  grazed on brush in Canada, the US, and packaged in Mexico.
