I searched all over for the particular scent of lotion I use (Vanilla/Almond Nivea body lotion). It was widely available for years. Now I have to buy it online or travel 35 miles to the city to get it at Target because Walmart no longer carries it. It went from $5 last year to $8 this year. I decided to buy it from Amazon whereupon it came with 3 nice bonuses. Paid $20. The 3 nice bonuses are high quality, and something I would use and have started using.
The above took place after a deal I saw: I ordered 3 bottles online from Target. Pick up within 3 days 35 miles away. At time of pickup I would get a $5 coupon, thereby reducing the $23 total to $18. I didn't make it in time, so the items were returned to the shelf. Instead of refunding the full $23 back to my account, they refunded $18 (docked $5, likely for "re-shelving").
Where is the price gouging? It appears to be an item that is not popular so local merchants do not stock it anymore. You had a pick up window you did not keep and your items were returned with restocking fee. You are using the bonus items.
All the Nivea lotions are now $8, not just the one I mentioned.
OK, things went up. Everything went up. Personally I do not use Nivea especially the scented version. SO might mistake me for an oversized cookie There are other options on the market.

This. The deal had specific terms. You didn't prioritize time to meet the terms. A discount coupon with an expiration date would be much the same. Present the coupon after it's expired, what would you expect? On top of that, the store had to expend staff time to undo your purchase but they're gouging you? Sorry, doesn't compute...

It's not very strong-scented, that's why I like it. also, it's not greasy.

actually, I had a fall and then we had a terrible thunder and lightning storm which I didn't want to drive 35 miles in. It's not a big deal. I found a better deal after searching around, so it all worked out.
