Meercat

I bought this meercat screen wipe for a Christmas present and it's proved really great for cleaning computer screens, iPad and iPhone. I saw them in the local gift shop and fell for the meercat. He is so cute as well as being useful and he works better than any cleaning spray.
So when my friend acquired her iPad I told her about the meercat, adding that I would get a similar 'animal' for her.

The shop where I bought it were expecting new stocks which could take several weeks. I couldn't wait that long so I had a look at Amazon. They seem to sell anything and everything on there. Sure enough, they had the screen wipes in stock. I chose a pink poodle for my friend and it arrived three days later, delivered free because I didn't mind waiting. The price: £3.97.
Not a bad price. However, yesterday I went into the local shop to look for a special birthday card and noticed they'd had a delivery of the same screen wipes, only the price was ... wait for it ... six whole pounds dearer. Yes, now selling at £9.97. How on earth can they justify such a high price? Is it any wonder people are turning to Internet shopping. My friend has now ordered a similar screen wipe for her daughter; guess where from!
