Even the 99 Cent Store Doesn’t Always Have the Best Price
I’m not quite sure why, but I’m missing socks. I spent some of my time this morning going to two stores that are in the same complex: Ross Dress for Less and Marukai 99 Cent Store.
I’ve bought socks from the 99 Cent Store before, and they usually go for a little more than $.99 (like $1.49 per pair). I had to go there for some pens and bicycle tube patches, so I checked out their sock selection, and sure enough, they were $1.49 per pair–which is quite affordable.
Next I went to Ross. Six pair of socks for $6.99.
Even a really low priced store like the 99 Cent Store doesn’t always have the best price. It can pay–maybe not tremendously, but at least a bit–to shop around.
