SDC Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 In a world where prices seem to regularly increase, it's a pleasant surprise when they go the other way, even if it's just a buck. This weekend I reached into the case at Hobby Lobby for a can of $10.99 Mr Hobby Surfacer 1000 I've been using, only to find that a $9.99 sticker placed over the normal $10.99 sticker. It's like I hit the micro lottery or something. 😎 Now I'll just sit back and wait for someone to let the wind out of my sail by telling me their HL sells it for $7.99 or some nonsense. LOL. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Amazing. Also amazing...the Publix-brand lunchmeat I favor for workday sandwiches went from pushing $9 a pound down to under $7 again, about where it was in early 2021. However...HO scale code 83 Flextrack in 36" lengths has gone from about $7.50 a couple years back to pushing $12 today. So glad I don't like eating the track anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Publix has gotten excessively expensive post pandemic. I'm shocked that they lowered the price on anything! I worked in the maint. shops there for 9 years. They used to give us freebies, they even cut all that out. I used to joke with my boss "y'all don't pay me enough to be able to afford shopping there." Unless it's changed, they used to make all their publix branded lunchmeats right there in the deli plant. Occasionally I'd have to go over there and recover a broken down piece of equipment.

Publix has worked well for me over the years, as their frequent "buy one, get one free" pricing determines a large part of my weekly menu choices. I just got back in after spending $89.67...which would have been $36.96 MORE without the BOGO savings. That's pretty significant...and I eat quite well, quite healthy. My local store is only a mile away too, so I'll often walk if I don't need more than 20 pounds or so of stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Air is still free, but the price of airbrush compressors no doubt went up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Maybe they're adopting "surge pricing"(back in my day sonny we called it "price gouging" 🤣), and since I don't see a surge in demand for scale modeling supplies anytime soon... Well, there you go. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
