W, as in What a ripoff!

Think of this as a public service announcement. Every now and then I like to remind readers that Walgreen's pharmacies are outrageously expensive. Every time I have compared the price of a health and beauty aid at Walgreen's with the same product at Publix (which is not an inexpensive chain) the Publix product is far less costly. Today I foolishly made a purchase at Walgreen's of a product that cost $9.49 only to find the same product in Publix for $8.34. $1.05 is a big difference. So unless you're rich, I suggest you check prices before you buy anything at Walgreen's.

Note: This morning when I reurned an overpriced product to Walgreen's I complained that they charge too much. The clerk said, "Yes, but we're a convenience store." I said, "You;re not a convenience store; you're a drug store. And drugs should cost less in a drugstore than they do in a supermarket." Naturally I got no response.
