staple items that you may need they, like the Safeway, really screw you.
They are much too tight-wadded to have an 800 number

I bought an AMD 233 CPU at Fry's for $85.00 (a good but not great
price). But their lowest priced heatsink and fan was $30.00 ! 
They have decent (not great) prices on the kinds of things that
customers comparison shop for, but they rape customers on all
the little stuff you need to complete an upgrade. And the quality
of their components sucks ! I had to return memory SIMM's
twice to get a pair of good ones.
