I have worked retail in the past. In fact, my first job was as a summer casual in the local Kmart department store. They put me in the toiletries and makeup section, because, as a male, I would be less likely to want to steal the stock! This puzzle is a tribute to anyone who has ever used a pricing gun. The answer to the meta is a 4-letter word. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=175432#p175432
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!

I started it last night on the middle coast, but I was so tired I fell asleep before I could finish. The meta was the word that popped into my head when I read the intro. Blue light special on aisle 71!
I need all the level 1's I can think of for MOAT! ;-)

That was quick and fun. Thanks, Ben.

For once, I didn't overcomplicate it and just kept it simple. Nice when that works out. Thanks for the puzzle, Ben!

Straightforward, and a clean, no-google grid! Thanks! I spent a bit of time looking for alternate clues for Stance, Arrow, Lower, and Ethane… until I spotted the obvious. ( :
