Box Pricing at B&M's

My favorite shop gives me 15% off, because I joined the "club" they have. The cost of the club was so minimal that I made up the difference in savings the first week I had the discount. Besides, I probably use that much of their electicity just shooting the bull with the fellas.

I usually buy from my B&M, because I want to support them. I want to have that place to hang out, to smoke, to enjoy. Can't do that online (no offense to the folks here, of course).

Due to the horrendous taxes we have here in MN B&M prices are pretty ridiculous. I remember about six months ago asking the price on a box of oliva Gs. I was looking at online retailers and found a couple places that had them at about $60 a box shipped. I asked the rep what kind of prices I was looking at because there was a sale going on. It ended up being about double what it was online. Now I am all for supporting local businesses and I like to stop by my B&M around once a week when I can, but there is no way that I can justify paying double the cost for the same product.
