Online vs. In-Store

by Daniel on Oct.18, 2005, under Rants

So I go to Walmart.com yesterday and I see a couple of DVD’s I’d like to get. One is season two of smallville for $19.95 a great price considering Best Buy has it for $44. I didn’t really expect it to be in the store so I wasn’t disappointed when it wasn’t there. But while I was on their website, I looked up the move “Kingdom of Heaven” and it was $15.87. I thought great when I’m at the store I’ll just pick that up instead. But NOOOO it’s $19.95 at the store, and Walmart won’t price match itself. So I could go home buy it from walmart.com and have it shipped to me cheaper than if I were to buy it in the store. Now that’s retarded!

Also if you live in an area with multiple Wal-Mart’s check the prices you’ll see they actually vary their prices from location to location according to the area they are in. Example when I was in Dallas, I went to one in Arlington and they had the book cases for $39.99, then a little north (can’t remember exact store, but a nicer [wealthier] town) they were $49.99, then in South Lake (very rich area) they were $59.99 so look for your low economic area and shop your favorite Wal-Mart there….
