My 13-year-old said this morning as she was putting on her sneakers (bought at Target last fall):
"I saw shoes just like these at DSW, but they were $50 and the Target ones are only $20."
We have a ridiculously overpriced toy store in our neighborhood. My daughter wanted a particular Lego kit to buy with birthday money that my mother sent her, so we trundled off to that store (Dad had a plan).
We found the kit she wanted and the store was extremely proud of the kit, as evidenced by the price they asked in order to part with it. Smartphone shows that Target has it for about 2/3rds of the price and fortunately, less than grammy gave her. I explain to her (just turned 5 at the time) the situation and say that we can go over to Target and as long as they have one, that she has enough money to buy it there and would have money left over, but if we buy it here, that it will take all of grammy's money plus some of her savings. (Wife is rolling her eyes at me at this point.)
Anyway, daughter and I go to Target and find the set; I make her physically hand the dollar bills over to the cashier and take the kit from the cashier to the car (believing that physical learning is important).
As we're driving out of the parking lot, daughter observes, "I like Target! They must know that kids don't have a lot of money, so they make things cost less for us than <Stupid, expensive toy store's name>."
