The Rules

...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

When your prices are significantly higher than your competition, you also sell fewer products. Walgreens and CVS are both stupid expensive.

I walked into Walgreens on last Christmas (365+days ago) to get something on the way to a gathering, a half gallon of milk was $7.99. They must have upped all the prices to be kind to their customers on Christmas day

I've known people who just do their regular shopping at those stores. I'll never understand why.
