A couple of things that Radio Shack is good for (besides
discrete components) is rechargable batteries ($3.99 for a
package of 2 AA nicads, whereas GE ones are $6.99 regularly
and maybe $4.99 on sale) and video amplifiers (they ask for
about $15, while most places ask for $20 and up).  However, I
do agree that most other things are overpriced, especially
telephone accessories.
