But I often check AMazon when I'm in stores.

I'll use the same example I used before--- I needed mailers to ship pussyhats to people (many DUers). I went to Staples and they had them 5 for $10. For $2 more, I was able to get 100 on Amazon. I researched this while I was in Staples by using my phone.

(I've shipped way more than 5 pussyhat orders and I don't want to inflate the price that much to cover the mailer.)
