I wouldn't think it varies much from place to place. Unless you really want the book, a lot of ppl who want to do the whole elf thing in some form buy their own elves that look different from the one in the box.
It seems that around $30 is the standard (for elf and book). I'm going to wait and see if there are any coupons I can use to get the price down. Barnes & Nobles sells them and usually has coupons.
Re: Best price on Elf on the Shelf?
I just to the buybuybaby flyer in the mail...they're advertising $29.99.
