+ actual prices are *6.95, but I round them for expediency
On a semi-related note, other things equal, a new round of Price Charts will be completed by the end of this week. I have to start on Monday-Tuesday, because there are manufacturer-initiated price-changes on Sundays, and they sometimes propagate at different times at different retailers. PS: please feel free to e-yell at me until it gets published 🙂
