the price difference between two shops eight blocks apart is insane
two places. eight blocks. same afternoon, same thing, and the gap was big enough that i went back and checked i had not misread the tag. i had not. i keep being told this is rent, taxes, volume, whatever. maybe. but eight blocks is the same rent, roughly the same everything, and the difference was not small change. at some point the explanation has to be that one of them just decided it could. what i want to know is whether this is a city thing or if the rest of you see the same spread. no names in here, just numbers, i am not trying to start anything.

Post what you paid this week. I will keep the spreadsheet
Starting this because I already keep the file for myself and it may as well be useful. Format I am asking for: rough area, what type of thing, the size, what you actually paid including tax, and the week. No shop names, that is not what this is for and I am not looking to review anybody. What I want is a picture of the spread across the state, because I suspect it is much wider than people assume and I would like to know if I am the only one paying what I am paying. I will post a tidied version back to this thread every couple of weeks. If you spot me making an error in the maths, please say so loudly.
