Not really. Usually products sold on Amazon are cheaper than name brands sold at stores.

usually but not nearly always...just today I bought a case of a special size water bottles (great for hiking) 65% of the price on AMZN...bought at a chain grocery store...happens all the time if you try...problem is people are too much into "get it on amazon" mind set.

Really important to distinguish what exactly you are buying and comparing from Amazon to in person stores. The categories differ. Groceries are obviously cheaper at grocery stores, but electronics/household items? Amazon is usually cheaper.

My employer (here in the UK) forbids us from ordering anything from Amazon. The reason is simple: poor quality. If Amazon is the cheapest option, it's almost certainly because it's an inferior product. For the same product, other sites/stores should be cheaper, because no other middleman takes as big a cut as Amazon.
