Affiliate Marketing Secrets

On the Walmart website it’s $8.98 for a 42oz (2.625lbs) pack, that’s $3.42/lb how come it costs so much more to buy in bulk from Nuts.com? Aren’t they the same thing?http://www.walmart.com/ip/M-M-S-PEANUT-4…http://www.nuts.com/chocolatessweets/old…
My understanding is that Nuts.com represents a specific manufacturer, owning the US factories which produce the products they make. I know they say “everything from Walmart is Made in China” but surely not the food. I imagine that Walmart gets their nut products from factories in the US like the factories represented by Nuts.com who get their nuts from the same farms here in the US. So, since Nuts.com is bulk directly from the factory who gets their nuts from US farms and Walmart gets theirs from other US factories which get theirs from the same US farms, how is it possible that it costs more from Nuts.com? Or does Walmart just buy in super bulk options that we aren’t given at Nuts.com? And if Walmart does import their food products from China, WTF?
I emailed Nuts.com for an official quote, but received this reply:

Hi Pal,
I’m not sure where Walmart gets their supply from. I can, however, tell you where our supply is from if you tell me the specific products you are looking for. Our products come from all around the world.

My initial “testimonial” was made out to the Peanut M&Ms product, and I mentioned Peanut M&Ms 3 times in my last message. Thank you for your quick reply.
Sincerely,

Hi Pal,

So Nuts.com officially states that their Peanut M&Ms definitely do come from the USA. But where does Walmart get their Peanut M&Ms? Are they Chinese M&Ms or do they actually come from the same place?

of that?
