Huge price difference - how can that be ?
 

I shopped yesterday for an item:
-- A department store had it on SALE 11.99.
-- First discount store had it REGULAR price 9.99.
-- Second discount store (not Dollar Store) had it for 1.00.
Exact same thing. REALLY ?

Wow that's crazy!

Make sure the item at the second discount store is not damaged. They may have gotten it as damaged freight.

I know some of the big box stores will sell the same goods as say, grocery stores, for much less but I find the items in the big box stores tend to be 'seconds' - ergo the lower price. Perhaps that's the reason for the price difference but that is pretty extreme.

....and did you buy? I would buy the one for the $1, take it to the other two stores and loudly ask Why?

Online same thing costs $50 in the US and in Canada $136.
How's that?

Yep, i've been buying Noritake casual china and wanted another piece. the sales are off but allmodern and one other company had it double the price Macy's and Belk and Bed Bath and Beyond did. Go figure!!

from what I remember in school, prices will vary depending on the demand.

Down parkas might be very cheap in warm climates and pricier in colder climates. Will they sell? yes.....but the merchant knows this and will price it to the highest level they can and still move the product.

Sad but true.
Makes me want to shop in other locations. Oh wait....that would cost me money, too.
LOL

My husband bought one of those small round containers of sage for $5.39 for Thanksgiving. My friend saw it and asked why we hadn't gotten the other name brand right beside it for 99 cents. Checked prices when we got groceries today and sure enough.....there was a price difference of $4.40........for the 2 same size little containers!
