Not necessarily. Depends on policy.
I'm fairly sure Vaughn Armstrong (my favorite actor) was also in a soap.
Yes, I've seen it frequently now. Retailers have been bitten enough that they say that the price is only applicable online. I use the Walmart app to double check prices. A Star Wars figure was 8 online, but full retail at 16.99 in store and the scanning reflected it.
And if they refuse to price match, you just buy it on the app for in-store pickup.
Yet to encounter that. And if so, probably not going back there any way.
I am now officially...on vacation.

I know it's part of the whole way our capitalist system works, but I'll never understand how you can have such drastic price differences between stores for the exact same product. One that recently stood out to me is the Ultimate Gardein Chick'n Tenders, I'm not positive on the prices, but I believe they're $10.99 at Fry's (our region Kroger owned grocery store) and then $7.99 at Target. And I've seen other stuff that is literally twice at one store as it is at another. I understand the idea behind competition, and I could see a small difference but such huge differences for the exact same thing seems strange to me.
I got my routine physical moved up from Thursday to Monday morning. I have anxiety about it because the last time I had one I had high cholesterol and I was prediabetic. I'm not in the best of shape, but I do take walks every day and go to the gym at least twice a week. I keep telling myself it's a conversation with a doctor, but I don't like the blood test portion of it.
Different companies structure their pricing differently. Often times, though not always, the pricing is based on a percentage of the companies cost. So, if they want to get more profit then they increase that percentage of the cost, and connect that to the base price.
The other side is going to be shipping as well. Many companies that are not larger will contract out their shipping services, instead of maintaining their own fleet, which can affect costs as well.
I was cooking. On the back burner rhubarb was stewing. On the front, I was making a vegetarian sausage stew.
When the rhubarb was cooked, I swapped the sausage stew to the back burner and went to find a tin of tomatoes...which I promptly poured into the rhubarb...
A few additions (onion softened with a pinch of garam masala, a diced potato and some parsley) all boiled up and put through the blender, I am eating tomato-and-rhubarb soup. It's "all right" but I don't think it will become a regular part of my repertoire...

Now that I’m in Toronto, I’m getting Canadian ads in my Twitter feed! Woah.
