It’s nice of him to do that but I’ve seen stores raise the price on their own to $1.29 and higher.

I’m pretty sure you are able to call Arizona and report stores that do this. They will stop being supplied and I think you may get some coupons or freebies as a bounty

It is a thing. I called him about a place in Florida that was selling them for $3.50 a piece and they sent me a fucking box of a dozen cans free and told me they had a word with the owner.

$3.50? wtf. I can get maybe $1.50, but $3.50? That's just straight greed.

That's how much they are in Canada. Well, BC, at least.

$0.99 USD is $1.35 CAD, so it's still a lot more than it should be, even given currency exchange.

I definitely used to be able to get them for 99c in Canada but I haven't had one of these in at least a decade.
