Just found out my lumber supplier charges 15% more for 'contractor grade' plywood that's the exact same thing

Was going over my invoice from Builders Supply last week and noticed a line item for contractor grade plywood at $62 a sheet. Regular CDX at the same place was $54. I asked the manager about it and he admitted it's the same product from the same mill, just a different label. Now I'm wondering what other supplies I've been overpaying for without realizing it. Anyone else caught this at their local yard?

Oh man, my buddy paid extra for "premium" paint cans that were the identical Sherwin-Williams base.

@patriciamoore classic case of paying for the label. All the same stuff.
