Amazon's prices depend a lot on what quantity you buy, one small item
can cost more than from a local market but if you buy say a six pack
it'll cost less. That's because the shipping is the same $6 for one
tube of hair gel as for six. I always try to buy in bulk quantities
and also bundle my orders, I wait until I have like 4-5 items in my
cart before placing the order, then they all arrive in the same
package and that saves on shipping.
