[TriLUG] OT: Retail Sharks

[ALFRED JOHNSON]

On the other hand, Intrex has extremely expensive blank DVD's while 
Compusa has the cheapest.  The biggest mistake most shoppers make is 
assuming that just because a store is the cheapest on product X that 
they must be the cheapest on product Y.  Just about every store has 
it's loss leaders and products priced sky-high. Anything you need to 
obtain at the lowest price needs to be compared in every store that 
sells it. -- Al Johnson.
