Unfortunately the companies that can afford to advertise also have the sales volume to keep prices low. That's the reason why Walmart can advertise and still sell cheap crap for low prices.

In my perfect world, decisions would be made rationally and there would be no room for advertising. It would probably be a boring world though, and we wouldn't have reason to be smug about making superior purchasing decisions.


A big factor to why its cheaper is because they have lower coverage amounts.
