The same thing might be true for Costco; the regular supermarket price is more than Costco charges but when the supermarket has a sale, the price might be the same or lower.
Eh, not exactly the same thing tho. When you make an order online they put you in a queue, so there’s no just walking in and expecting it to be done. You get your shopper by appointment. Also when you make an online shopping order, their inventory is tied in (to the best of their ability) so you can’t choose something they don’t have. And the infrastructure is there so that if the shopper can’t find something, there’s an easy way to contact you about it electronically, instead of the shopper having to go to your waiting area in the store and discuss it with you.
Technology really helped the process along!
IIRC grocery stores did begin with the shop assistants doing the shopping for you. But the owners were like “this is fucking ridiculous” and revolutionized the already revolutionary grocery store by making you do it yourself. Seems like it wasn’t until technology got settled that they came back to the idea of personal grocery shoppers. When it comes down to it it’s really not that great of a setup without the queue.
They built one just off M6 in Michigan. It never opened, and is now for sale.
Walgreens & Target= $3.99. Walmart $5.48=
damn link no work here, just google it- frosted Mini wheats- Walmart.
Or $3.98
That is the Walmart price if they ship them to you. So, who is cheaper? Mind you cereal price fluctuate quite a bit, so a difference of cents is nothing to get alarmed over. I have never, ever seen them at Walmart for a dollar.
But it is not. Cheaper than Walmart, by far. If shipped, and $1??
Yep. Mind you with free shipping I have noticed heavy bulky items are more expensive.
Yep. And pretty healthy as snack foods go.
They started with a demo: using an online-book company as a demonstration of Amazon Web Services. The Amazon you see is profitable: it demonstrates that you can run a profitable company on AWS. AWS is the multi-trillion dollar money machine.
If you’re finding them at a physical Walmart or the Dollar General for a buck, just go there and buy 12 or 24.
They don’t care how many you buy. (I assume you mean the individual serving peel off top, cups)
Or…if you’re real clever get a bulk pkg. at Sams or Costco and individually bag them in ziplock.
I’ll warn you ahead of time. Either one will go stale if they’re in your pantry long enough.
(And, if you eat miniwheats everyday, might wanna pick up a bulk package of TP, as well)
Yes, the Amazon gets outrageously high almost every year. Some tributaries start flooding in November and continue to rise until June.
But the pirhanas are plentiful and hence cheap, so you’ve got that to look forward to!
Watch out for the candiru though.
I asked my cousin for a dry shampoo recommendation and she recommended something that cost me $40 on Amazon. I don’t think this brand can be found in a grocery store, but I’m not sure how to evaluate whether I’m getting ripped off or not. I don’t typically use hair care products like this. But damned if I don’t love it. I hope this bottle lasts.
Name of this miraculous product, please, Spice.
Prime week is soon!
Amika perk-up talc-free dry shampoo.
I got it because I started showering at night instead of the AM. I think my hair actually looks better on the days I don’t wash it and use this instead.
Wow, I will look that up. Thx
For your shampoo, the brand has a web site. It’s $42 on their site (plus $10 shipping).
I usually don’t like to buy beauty stuff on Amazon because I don’t trust their supply chain to actually deliver me the genuine, non-altered, non-expired thing. But it looks like for this item they say it is “Premium Brand Sourced” meaning
We work closely with your favorite premium beauty brands and their approved resellers to ensure the premium products sold in our stores are authentic.
So that’s cool.
Usually for beauty premium brands prices are the same across the board, like at the brand site and Sephora or Ulta. I like to buy in person at Sephora or Ulta because they have a generous return policy but I am lucky to have BOTH stores right in my city. I think that is a rare luxury, though.
Anyway, buying at Amazon you got the Premium Brands assurance, the size you wanted is not out of stock (it’s out of stock on the brand’s site), it’s $2 less than the brand’s site AND you get free shipping (even without Prime). The only thing your missing is that it’s non-returnable on Amazon, and the brand & Sephora would have taken a return.
So no you totally didn’t get ripped off! Nice job 
Haha, thank you! Good to know.
