For 5.50, the Plymouth - Family Dollar has a regular corn broom suitable for sweeping the floor, outside deck, or waving off prospective property buyers who wander past your "No Trespassing" signs. It was made in Mexico and had a real wood handle; a regular broom.

Across the parking lot at the Plymouth Hannaford's, which is a huge store complete with a pharmacy, the only broom for sale was an angle corn broom, also made in Mexico, and priced at 11.95.

That's a big difference, 5.50 verse 11.95 for two very similar products that do the same thing, sweep the floor or outside deck or whatever.
