This week we began our adventure of comparing prices in different stores and on the internet for gloves and hot hands. Our first stop on this journey was Walmart. We looked at gloves for both guys and girls, searching for them in a variety of colors, materials, and sizes. After looking around the store we found Thinsulated Fleece gloves ($5) which meets out criteria of what we were looking for, at a great price and good quality, however we still wanted to compare with other stores in concluding our final decision.
Our next stop was the Dollar Tree, which only had gloves that would fit an infant, TOTAL FAILURE! We then drove to (filthy) Big Kmart, who only had very ugly cheap knitted gloves and mittens, EPIC FAILURE! After walking out of the store, wanting to shower off all of the nasty, we continued our voyage to Target, who were in the process of stocking their shelves with winter apparel, once again COLOSSAL FAILURE! After leaving there, we went next door to Kohl's, which only had a small selection of woman's leather gloves, not what we are looking for. After our FOURTH FAILURE, we still proceeded on to our next destination, T.J.Maxx, who only had cheap looking but expensive (ranging from $15-$40) leather and other not so attractive looking gloves, once again COMPLETE FAILURE! We then drove to the other side of town in search of the perfect set of gloves, to the Dollar General. They only had small knitted "one size fits all" (children's) gloves, 100% FAILURE!
After 6 COMPLETE FAILURES we decided to search online for the best deals available, however, it was here that we realized that Walmart still had the best priced, good quality gloves.
While traveling around town we also were looking for the best prices for hot hands and once again Walmart had the best price, even better then prices on the internet. We then decided to purchase one package of hot hands and one pair of gloves to begin the development process of our product.
