mashups
One problem I've always had when shopping for jacked-up prices is I can't find enough crazy to go along with it. Same thing for the crazy: I know where to go to get
cart-loads of that, but I can't find the
2400% markup! What I need, clearly, is for
Radio Shack to open up specialty kiosks inside
Target stores, so then— oh hey! It's the Bullseye Mobile Solution!

For awhile now (since at least 2007) we've been posting pictures of mindboggling
Target price tags. We're starting to wonder if we're actually encouraging them. We got

Regular Consumerist readers are familiar with
our exposure of Target's absurdist pricing policies, and this is a particularly confusing example. Reader Rob in Minnesota noticed a nice promotion on a 3-pack of Brita water filters, which came with a free small Nalgene water bottle and a few packets of drink mix. Nice deal, but he couldn't help noticing that the identical 3-pack of filters
without the "free" water bottle cost $1.50 less. See a bigger picture and a twist to the story, inside.

Loyal Consumerist readers may have noticed that we haven't made any recent posts in our widely acclaimed series of posts about how discount retailer
Target is insane. Has Target sought help and found its way back to reality? No. We were just saving up material.

Stephanie sent us this photo from her local Walgreens. Have they been taking lessons in pricing from Target? Sure, MSRP is is merely a suggestion, but this is a rather obvious case.
