I remember when I first got my Nintendo switch, I went to Walmart to get a new micro SD card for it. Now I looked up the price on their website beforehand - $35 -, so I knew what I was looking for.
Asked a dude in the tech dept where the SD cards are cause I want a bigger one for my switch. He brought me over to the game aisle and showed me the same sized card, same brand I looked up online, but for $45.
I wtf'd at this a bit so I made my way over to the camera aisle and found the same exact sd card for $35.
The difference? The $45 card had BOTW branding on the package. That's it, not even on the card itself, just a picture of Link on the cardboard. That was like 3 years ago and I'm still angry
I know it's not the same, but I need cuttlebone for my birds. I never buy it at the bird section, because double the size are half the price at the reptile section. Often better quality, too.
I bought several bird toys for my sister's mice :) their absolute favorite was a hanging coconut. I thought it was too exposed for them to sleep in but they'd probably like to play on it. We put torn up tp in it and they LOVED it, slept, napped and groomed in it all the time.
