You always need to check prices. No store always has the lowest price on every item all of the time.

looks to be a sweet deal! so did they ever restock or does the article hold water? I'm headed down to state side this weekend. I need to stock up on some delo 400. It's almost 1/2 the cost as buying it up here! Even with the crappy exchange rate at the mo.

That info has been floating around on the net for while, as I recall seeing this article about a year ago. In fact this one seems to be a bit more accurate, the one on slightlyviral for example seems to infer that the * will lead to the best deals because it is discontinued, but apparently that is not necessarily so, apparently if it ends in $.97 the price would be irrespective of the * (in other words, the * does not make the price even better, it just means it is discontinued).
