Wouldn’t surprise me if it was the same with food.
Big box stores pull the same #### with their Boxing Day sales. Inferior models compared to their regular stock.

Yeah, I've seen a couple of youtube things that outline their "minus one feature" that basically disqualifies their products from the commercials where they promise that "if you find a better price, we'll beat it by x%". Of course, since you can't find that model number anywhere except Walmart, they aren't at risk of having to beat the price. And the version they're selling is a tier down from the other stuff.
Not exactly a revelation, but it annoys me. They might have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling pickles.
