When Walgreens cuts prices, it’s usually shrinkflation. They often have deals on paper towels and toilet paper — but when you look at the sheet count, it’s about half of what you would get on the same roll at a grocery store.
Same for fluid ounces on things like dish and laundry soap.
OMG. Just got burned by Walgreens by this. Went to buy eyedrops. The name brand was out, so I bought the Walgreens brand. Same size box, slightly over the (out of stock brand) price. Got home, opened the box… I’ve never seen a bottle of eyedrops so small. Normal bottle is 0.25 oz. This one was 0.08 oz.
Eyedrops are ungodly expensive. If you can wait a day or two, Amazon will usually ship a two pack for less than a single one from Walgreens or CVS. No one can justify $19 for a single goddamn bottle of eyedrops.

Fuck Walgreens.

And it’s absurd what they charge for things like batteries, compared to other places.
