It is especially weird when it's cheaper online on the SAME store. That happened with me in brazil.

What's worse is when the store won't honor their own online price. That happened to me in the US, I think it was Walmart.

They recently honored it for me. 20% difference.

Rumor has it that a certain US retailer has an online store that tries to determine whether you are checking prices from inside their physical store, and raises the advertised price to match those of the store you are in.

At Target, at the checkout you can show them the price on their own website, and they will sell it to you for the online price.
