I live along the morridor and there are several DI stores close to me. I shop there occasionally to buy used cd's although I have purchased a few clothing items over the years as well.
I went to the Centerville UT. DI last week and was rather shocked to see men's dress shirts priced as high as $8. Seems like men's dress shirts used to be in the $3-5 range. Didn't see many $3 shirts on the racks. At $8 they are getting in the range of closeout prices @ Kohl's, etc. and that merchandise is new.
I took a look around the store and saw that common kitchen items are priced on the low end @ $1 whereas the low end for these types of items used to be $.50 cents. CD's are holding @ $1 but I see some marked up to $2-3 for no understandable reason.
Have you noticed the same? Inflation and general cost of doing business aside - I wonder if DI is morphing into a cash cow to make up for other failing revenue streams? Given that DI is a 'charity' I wonder what the tax liability is? If the church doesn't have to pay taxes on their DI revenue, buildings, etc. seems like this would be an ideal revenue stream to exploit.
