When MrConsumer was a teenager, he remembers going to wholesale showrooms with his mother to buy CorningWare at 40% off. You could not get a discount at retail stores in New York because that brand was fair-traded meaning that it had to be sold at full retail price. Take this example of regular liquid Tide in the 92 oz. bottle. During early November, checking some supermarket and retail ads around the country, the price was never advertised below $11.95 (give or take a few pennies) except when it typically came with a retailer-supplied manufacturers $3 off coupon offered directly to customers. In that case, the price was never advertised below $8.95. tl;dr: At least some bigger grocery product brands use their popularity as leverage to threaten to pull their products from stores if they advertise them as being available for less than minimum prices they set --- Dolphins are people too! https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1404-cetacea-cove ...

I long suspected this was going on, and I'm glad(and sad) that it is confirmed.

This is why "view price in cart" happens when buying stuff online.
