Ah, Costco ('https://www.costco.com/airpods-(3rd%C2%A0generation)-with-lightning-charging-case.product.100815304.html') has been selling them at this price since Monday. And if you're military, you can get them for $128 ('https://www.shopmyexchange.com/apple-airpods-3rd-generation-/3010927').

And there's always price matching at Target + getting additional 5% off with Target Red Card or 5% cash back by paying in-store with a Discover card through Apple Pay. ;)
