Same store same item two differnt prices



Recommended Posts

So frustrated with national chains having 1 price for an item online and another price for the same item in store.

it's almost like a penalty for getting off your ass and going to the store.:thumbup:

that's wal-mart for you. mostly i like wal-mart, as i can get most things i need in one stop, a huge plus when you have a 4 and 7 yr old, but that whole "store price may vary" thing is a huge load of crap!!

Everything is cheaper online. Walmart online store does not need cashiers, gaurds, insurance, ect it all come from a warehouse or whereever its stored @. Plus you can get it cheap on walmart website and then have it delivered to walmart SITE TO STORE

It cost less to have an online store then to have a real store front. So I really don't see the issue with it, its just a known fact that if you need something for a better price go online

Its the same as how supermarkets charge different prices in different socioeconomic areas. Here, our major chain is Coles, its much cheaper here than in other suburbs. But lately Coles is adverising "same great price in every store". What does that mean? That now they charge astronomical prices everywhere! Why couldnt the prices have come down in the more expensive areas?

And surely cheese, for example, coming from the same manufacturer will result in the same profit for the same price. So why the more expensive price in wealthier areas!

Its a bit on the nose, that's for sure.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
