Reply to comment by kickit08 in CVS cuts cost of menstrual products in 12 states with "tampon tax" by AmethystOrator

i mean makes sense but all supermarkets carry items that they sell at cost because they are staples that bring people into the store

Electronics (apple products, video games) are examples of items that places like wal-mart carry which make them literal cents of profit. Bananas are also a common produce item which is sold extremely close to cost. This isnt a new concept

Yeah the margins on a lot of electronics are honestly pathetic. Manufacturers and vendors have worked their asses off to move as much margin over to them from the retailer for the past few years.
