They don't buy their stuff from China for the most part. It's cheaper and 
easier to source the stuff here.

It's been done here.(G)  I get a mistake sometimes.  We get those kinds of 
discontinued items too.  Every once in a while you get a coupon that

Aid and CVS discontinue certain makeup colors every so often to make room 
for new stuff.  When that happens, bargains ensue.
