Marketing on pricing

Just like Amazon, there’s times I find it cheaper elsewhere so I did away with my Amazon account. Walmart and all the big box stores do this. Lost leaders and so forth to get you in and then make you walk the store to hopefully have you buy high mark up items. They didn’t get big by being stupid. They count on folks to believe their marketing.

From what I see rural king buys a lot of overruns on the cheap and pass the savings along. However rarely have I found the same items a year later. Usually a different product and higher priced.
