TIL that you can get much lower online prices if you use a local library computer. Another reason to hate retailers.

Lora Kelley took a trip to the New York Public Library for us and compared prices against a personal iPhone. The results? A box of Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and a pack of toilet paper were nearly 20% cheaper on the library desktop.

Use tor browser or librewolf with a vpn that isnt owned by Kape. Check to make sure all cookies are deleted each session. Make each purchase with a new account. Ideally using an email alias otherwise it gets cumbersome fast. Personally I also use a one time virtual debit card.

    Oh yea! I'll just use tor! I fucking love only getting 10% of my network speed and having 70% of websites be an unfunctionable mess! Totally a valid and reasonable workaround!

    ... then enable JavaScript? And this was to avoid price manipulation, not day to day use?

    Dumbass comment. JS can easily reveal your IP and identity.
