Once I saw an add of a house for sale in California for 5 dollars (circa mid 1800s). Those guys in the old west that used to sell the miracle bottles of wonders are still arround, now the are a bit more sophisticated. All big corporations are breaking the law and unjust eriching at the expense of people who do not think just act.Cheaper when you know what's in it:
naphtha petroleum, light, hydrotreated 64742-49-0 <60
n-hexane 110-54-3 <8
Acetone 67-64-1 <35
Isopropyl Alcohol 67-63-0 <35
Then again everything has doubled in price, all that high $$ oil from last year finally caught up with us in transporation, manufacture and the sheer fact that most stores have jacked their prices way up trying to keep afloat as people ramin (rightfully) worried about the economy.
Say what they may but unemployment and a truly messed up economic climate are going to exist for some years to come.
Common paint thinner at Home Depot, used to be $2.68 a gallon, now it's about $6
Wal-Mart is getting away with murder on a ton of things too, there are people that have the firm belief they're always the cheapest place to shop. Not so in many cases. At least they've slowed down on the deceptive advertising, all those "$2.79 - was $3.88" signs are fooling less and less people. If you look at the actual old shelf tag that's hidden behind those things you'll usually see it's been the same price (or cheaper) for months beforehand.
Wal-Mart is just trying to make money no matter what isn´t everyone doing that? False advertisment and the like is just normal in almost all societies.
