Huh.  Where are you located and where are you purchasing from?

My observation was that prices were pretty comparable, except for a
few targeted chips where it looked like Atmel was specifically trying
to undercut Microchip prices (ATTINY11, ATMEGA48)  Beware pricing of
semi-obsolete chips; attiny2313 is significantly cheaper than at90s2313,
for instance.
