or they're one of those things that cost the same all the time.

Those things that cost the same during the year are probably things that are "fair-priced"... The rest are overpriced, and on BF, they are probably the closest to their "real value"... In my opinion, all in all, it's not about "getting a deal", but paying the "fair price" 😃

As I needed some stuff for reforming the shower tub, I wanted to give a chance to the "physical stores" and I went to a couple, but the prices were crazy high... It looks like walking around trying to find a deal makes no sense anymore... In the end, I bought stuff for the "regular" price, as, I suppose, those things had no space to be cheaper...

Oh I agree. I find I have an idea in my head of what things are worth, and look for that, regardless what the occasion is (Whether it's its actual price or some "crazy deal").

It looks like walking around trying to find a deal makes no sense anymore...

That's terrible. I guess it's harder and harder for "real" stores to compete with online, which makes it impossible to support them when you really want to. Crazy.
Good luck with your shower tub, though, and thanks for picking my post! :)

I know... And I always try to give a "chance" to small shops, but the difference in price of over 20% is too big! I would pay 5-10% more, but not that much... In the end, they could buy online and resell for 10% too!

Good luck with your shower tub, though, and thanks for picking my post! :)

You are welcome! In the meantime, one part of the shower tub arrived, waiting for the second one... 😃

I feel the same! It's really annoying that they've rigged the system in such a way that now regular people like you and me get pissed off (not always, but you do hear it sometimes) at small businesses for their "high" prices, when it's just the cost of trying to keep their business afloat.

Hope your tub's all pieced together by now! :)
