Caveat emptor
– Latin for ‘buyer beware’: the buyer’s responsibility to do due diligence before purchasing a good or service.
I’m happy to report that the inflation rate (over the last quarter) for my favorite breakfast cereals is 0%.
I buy these online, though.
The difference between the online and in-store price can be enormous, at least here in my neck of the woods (neck of the city).
Kellogg’s All Bran: $4.98 online vs. $8.49 in-store (+70%).
McCann’s Steel Cut Oatmeal: $6.98 vs. $13 in-store (+86%).
