NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 17 hours agoThis is how all of these stores make margin. Some higher priced items are marked down, and people come in regularly to buy them because they’re cheaper than everywhere else. All of the lower priced items are marked up.

Or they sell you a smaller quantity for the amount desired, you pay more / item and receive less but pay less overall for the “item”
Like a smaller box of laundry detergent or a smaller-than-normal-sized snickers.

Not always a bad thing tbh. If you want a big variety of candy for the movie theater later (with permission to bring it inside definitely totally 100%), it’s way better than any store at getting you a wide selection.
Sometimes I’m willing to pay more per oz if it means getting a bigger variety, over a better price per oz of just one brand.
