Lately it seems like the most expensive place to buy things is the corner drug store. They have the pharmacy, of course, but they also have different departments within the store with over the counter medications and toiletries, beauty supplies, toys, camera film, groceries, greeting cards and a limited selection of household goods, like paper towels, rubbermaid storage containers, fuses, etc.
But all of these things cost almost twice as much as if you went to a hardware store or Wal Mart to buy them. I’m sure there is a premium to be paid for convenience, but in these tough economic times, places that charge two much for every day items will be losing a lot of business and frankly, it’s their own fault.
