Either this, or large retail chains stockpile enough of some items when their cost is lower due to favorable exchange rates for instance.

That kind of thing worked in the old days but today most people are going to at least look at something online even if they end up buying it at a physical store. People can see the prices of 10 stores side by side and that 80% off sale no longer looks like a sale.
Most often I still prefer to buy at a physical store, if I am in a hurry to get the item, yet looking for prices online can be helpful too.
