Exactly. That's how the free market works! Who sells items at the same price!?!!? It's not like that. Prices differ everywhere. Cost is made up in different items. Ever read the sale papers?
Ever purchased a $12 asprin at a hospital? What makes up the cost of that item?
Stores have to make a profit. If you drop the price of Diet Coke, it has to go somewhere else. So increase the price of peanut butter cups. So you may not sell as many Reese's Peanut Butter Cups as the next guy, but your margin on the cups is higher. If you sell half as many cups as you do diet cokes, it'a a wash.
It's a game of balance. In your last reply, it comes down to more than just prices.. but location and convenience... thus the name of the stores. Competetive commmerce, you have to love it!
