No, you are quite right. For whatever reason, I'm blessed with a good, cheap supplier of Wix filters. Even other local places can't match that. That is with my corporate discount at one of my suppliers. Still, my discount at my Wix supplier provides me with Wix cheaper than my discount at another supplier with their Frams. Even for price comparisons, it's hard to find Wix online in the U.S. for what I pay for them.
The German filters - that's another story, and I have no good answer for that. I stumbled upon a good supplier, I guess. I never pay over $5 for German filters for my Audi, and I have never found a better price in Canada and only very rarely a cheaper price in the States. The German Bosch is under $5, where at Canadian Tire, the same German Bosch, when they have it, is around $9 or so.
