<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 6641141, member: 101855&quot;]Sometimes that&#039;s true, and sometimes it&#039;s all marketing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Years ago, when I lived in New England, there was highly advertised discount grocery chain that claimed they beat the regular store&#039;s prices. You had to bring your own bags and pack your own groceries after you bought them. I was single and had been doing all of my grocery shopping. </p><p><br /></p><p>I went to this place once. It was hell. They didn&#039;t have most the brands and the selection was terrible. Furthermore, the prices weren&#039;t all that great. You might save a penny or two if that. I also ended up with a carton of off-brand milk that went bad in two days. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think that this place&#039;s marketing strategy was, if it&#039;s hell to shop here, you must be saving money because of the extra effort. In a word, NO. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would say the same about shopping for coins at most flea markets and antique stores. It&#039;s usually not very good and the chances of getting skinned are quite high if you don&#039;t know what you are doing or don&#039;t know about other segments of the market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
