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.
