Man ,that's just weird.. I went by our local store three days ago and bought a box for $6.92.. Why would the price vary that much from store to store?

A few years ago I was buying Winchester 223 White Box ammo for a friend who liked it so much that he didn't bother reloading. I was traveling through a couple of states on a semi-regular basis and every time I was near a Wal-Mart I would stop in and pick up some for him.
I noticed a disparity of two to three dollars per box depending on the location of the store, I questioned a manager about it and was told that each store can sets its own price on items since the managers have a better idea of what the market will bear locally. I suspect that the Corporate office has some guidelines on this but it does make a lot of sense.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.

Jk16: What part of the country did you find that ammo for $6.92 at?
I will be in a position to make a larger purchase of this ammo as soon as Big Game season is over here-abouts in a week or so.
TIA

Several years back I priced some electronics stuff at two different Walmart stores around 35 +/- miles apart. The difference in price of identical items at one location was enough for me to ask a department manager why and was told the same thing,

For around a couple of years or longer now one of the above mentioned Walmart stores has been pricing their store brand milk at anywhere from as low as .89 cents to a high of $1.48 a gallon. The reason being a discount grocery chain opened a new store in the same town and from day one has kept their milk prices super cheap and most likely at a loss in order to draw customers.

The same store brand milk at the other Walmart mentioned above has been and still is 'everyday' priced at two to three times more.

Jk16: Thats what I was wondering about - I was hoping this availability and price was/is widespread.
Thanks for the comeback.
The local Wal-Mart is so far from me (65 miles each way!) I am going to do something I have never done before and CALL the Wal-Mart ask for the sporting goods department and inquire about the supply of W-W Power-Points before I drive all the way up there.
I wonder if they will give out that information on the phone?
Thanks again for the come back.
