North Carolina has the same 10% for $5.67 at Walmart.
Thanks, I'll add that.
Also is it a good idea to list membership clubs, especially if there are non-membership stores with low prices.
I think yes in general. A lot of people have those memberships, so if there is a good price there, why not list it ? I wasn't aware BJs was like Costco - we don't have them here. I may add a tag to the name to indicate its a membership type store, but I would suspect people in those states that have them would generally know anyway. Ideally, I'd like to see 3 or 4 places for each State - that way there are some options. Of course, people need to provide the detail - I have no idea what is available in North Carolina
I also decided to 'highlight' sale prices (like the Menard's rebate) as those might be temporary, or involve more hassle. Again, relies on people giving the detail
BJs was the only store listed for NC and a good portion of the state does not have a local one. The long drive to a BJs would negate the cost savings.
I went back about a year in the old post to start filling in the chart, as I felt any prices before that were probably out of date anyway, so that's probably the only entry I found for NC. It's going to be impossible to be perfect for everyone. I could dedicate a whole page per state, and list everywhere anyone could find, but it would become unmanageable pretty quickly. If you don't have a BJs/Costco/Sams Club membership, or Walmart or Rural King is a long drive, then maybe your current source of LC is better...and maybe you should post it in case it helps others
The chart can be expanded for as many entries as we need...I just wanted to get the detail in a simpler, easier to use format.
Bottom line, I have no way to really capture the best overall price for every person in every state - best I can do is tell you it was $6.25 at BJs a year ago, and $5.67 at Walmart this week...based on what people tell me
