Above is a picture of two flyers we received on the same day from the same grocery store (Bloom).
Notice the quite different prices for the same items - steak, apples. Similar differences are found throughout the flyer. Some items offer 50% off in one version, 1/2 off in the other. Other items are $2.99 in one, and 3 for $9 in the other. And on and on.
Only upon close inspection did we realize that one was for our local store and one was for the store in the next town over. (Good news, our local one was the one with the cheaper prices).
1. It is annoying to think as a society that we are wasting so much time putting together all of these different flyers for different target audiences
2. I actually went to Giant one time to get something on sale, and got charged a higher amount at the register. When I complained to the store manager, they showed me the price in the sales flyer. Only when I got home did I figure out that the ads I had looked at were not for my local store.
This really wilts my bloom.

Bloom isn't even a franchise, which makes this practice unacceptable. Though, if you look at their website, it looks like Virginia is the only state that has multiple regions. You may just be unlucky to live on the border of regions.
