Yeah and you can cross-shop Target and Walmart and find the same prices as well. That's not the point. At some point, if the product is "on sale" 90% of the time, then there is no "sale" price, just a regular price, and an extortionate one that they expect no one to pay. It only exists to manipulate the consumer into thinking they're getting a good deal. If it's "on sale" >2x/mo, its never on sale...
