Why I love Wal-Mart | |

This reminds me of what happened yesterday, my son was coughing and was feeling miserable so I got him some medicine at a local rite aid. It cost $11.50 for the only kind he'll take willingly. At wal mart I saw it later on in the day for $7.50. Rite Aid isn't exactly a hometown mom and pops business but same thing applies here because they're the only drug store in town they price things however high they want and some sucker like me who isn't sure where the cheapest cold meds in town are is sure to walk in every so often and buy their expensive crap like I did. Well I learned my lesson, next time I won't be paying almost 12 bucks for cough meds for my kid. |
