It's expensive to be poor. A product sold at these discounters, when measured by cost/weight or cost/volume, is always more expensive than the same brand at a major retailer. These stores are essentially the corporate equivalent of breaking up a pack of cigarettes to sell loosies.

Great analogy.

When prices started going up, I did some price shopping at dollar stores, Costco type stores, and regular grocery stores. For what we use regularly, the regular grocery stores are the cheapest.
