32 OZ of Stabil Storage fuel stabilizer

$9.62 at Walmart

$16.99 at ACE HARDWARE


That's almost double the price !!

Why such a difference in the price, for the exact same product ?

Orchlands farm store chain binders made in china $50.00

Rual king same binders are $25.00

Smaller store less buying power. Also always a little higher for convenience. It's 7miles vs 15 an a lot less traffic . I pay a little more for that but made the drive for the $50 I saved buying two binders. They will price match but I give my Business to the store with better price and that Rual King donates a lot to the 4H.

Haven't shoped at the small store since the regional manager ran off the store manager. That made all the good help quit also. Won't supervise me when the store closes within the next year.

I used to manage a Shell station years ago. I questioned my Shell rep why it cost us more to buy quarts of motor oil directly from Shell at our wholesale price that cost more than the retail price at Wal-Mart.

He replied that Wal-Mart bought it by the truckload and used their own trucks to get it to their distribution center. Here we were just a small gas station that sold maybe 50-100 cases of oil in a year.

Cause the guy at Ace has a boat payment and a daughter in a private college.
