I’m sure most people here don’t remember when power strips and HDMI cables were $40 and coin batteries were like $15 each pre inflation because stores wanted to make money on them. We could only read, listen to, and watch what our local stores decided to stock and most things didn’t have reviews. If we needed a new power adapter for that one device with a special shaped connector, too bad. It’s literally impossible to buy it.
People should check again. After I decided to avoid Amazon, I’m surprised by how many things are cheaper and/or better quality at my local stores. I think Amazons reputation for lowest prices is less true every year.
My neighborhood stores have huge markups and bad customer service. I don’t love Amazon but they are a better alternative for most things.

How about both arguments are true. You just have to price check constantly and you will find some stores are cheaper and some are pricier than Amazon.
