Yes, I saw the new price list yesterday and was astounded at the markup.
An interesting discussion took place at our last BF coalition meeting,
included a pharmacist from one of the local pharmacies.  She said she had
been told by a company rep that they "HAD" to charge near the suggested
retail price because the company didn't want their products to be
considered "discount products."

Just my two cents, but why would anyone want to pay that much money?  And
how many people could afford it?  Looking at why the price increased from
$219 to $288, it said that prices went up 4% and some "convenience" items
have been added, like the CSF bags, a vehicle lighter adapter, and some
lanolin cream.  Does anyone have any more insight into why they felt it
would be a good idea to add all of this "stuff" to an already good product?

The inquiring mind who is still without her microwave wants to know...
