Hi All,

Been carrying a 110 since early 80's and wouldn't be without it.

Nice to be here!

Has anyone bought the socks you can get from SMKW to keep the 110 in ? They come in different sizes.

Just to clarify- Walmart sold baby formula for $5 a case less than it cost them- Major competitior who sells a 100 cases a day, takes a $500 loss per day- Mom & pop stores, even if they only sold 10 cases a day, take a $50 loss which they can't afford, or sell it for a normal retail and have it sit on the shelves and expire and have to throw it away--The games retailers play ~~~~

Correct Steve-Just saying that although MAAP should apply, retailers, even SMKW, can afford to break even on or lose money on a well known product to drive sales on their other products to  drive the perception that their other products. which are quite profitable, must also be bargains--I have worked for several MAJOR retailers over the years and also know what my MAJOR competitors were paying for their product-This may not be fair, but it is the REAL world of business- Corporate giants like Walmart used to sell baby formula for a fraction of what it cost and I was a direct competitor with the same source for product- Fair- hardly, dirty pool- maybe, good business practice for Walmart- definitely-Small mom and pop pharmacies could not hope to compete, and tough for even a major retailer to withstand the blow-Walmart's strategy- Mom's need formula, which we lose money on, but we make it all back when they buy diapers, baby food,  groceries.etc

I don't want to jump in the middle of a mom & pop (love ya Terry) vs. online stores, garage sellers, etc.However, after 40+ yrs. in retail mgmt. and buying experience I can offer some scenarios- A)Retailer offers a an item at or below cost ( Buck 110 or a gallon of milk) where the retail is widely known and might convince a consumer that their other prices must also be low- B) A large  retailer gets a huge price reduction because the manufacturer or wholesaler is behind on quota and is trying to get his superiors off his back- The retailer can either enjoy the extra profit or pass the savings on to the consumer for the above reasons C) - Backroom deals happen in the retail world with major retailers- IE- A mfg. in California ships trailerloads of product across the country to support a major retailer's ad- For various reasons, it arrives too late and retailer refuses order-Mfg. can either ship it back home and out again at triple shipping costs, or unload it to another area retailer at a drastically reduced cost-Retailer B then has the option of  either enjoying the extra profit or driving his competition crazy with a price they can't match-  I have even had Coleman coolers sent to me at .01 cost per unit to atone for a past mistake. The coolers normally retailed for $29.99- I sold them for $19.99 which pleased my customers and succeeded in driving my local competitors nuts- Cutthroat tactics aren't always pretty, but they are an ingrained part of the business world- Same scenario, with me on the short end of the stick has also happened many times-
