Hope and change -- translated for Obama readers -- means work hard and make something people want to buy.

WINDFALL PROFTIS! WINDFALL PROFITS! SEIZE THEM! SEIZE THEM!

Some good news here -- and not totally unexpected.

In tough economic times I would expect to see sales of luxuries and big-ticket items to decline dramatically -- while sales of everyday necessities are solid (at best) or flat (at worst).

Walgreens is great. Not the cheapest but they are on every corner and the stuff they sell is first rate. Time is money and I think they know it. Glad to see someone is bucking the trend.

Yes, I own Walgreens stock!

The unions won't like this. The dimocRATS will have to find a way to get their “fare” share of the profits.

Walgreen's have built some locations in inner-city neighborhoods. Inner-city residents lack transporation to go to a regular grocery store so they buy their purchases at Walgreen's.

Also Walgreen's has locations on heavy traffic corners too.

I have been shopping there more lately. If you use their coupon book as well as manufacturer coupons when something is on sale, the deals are pretty good, sometimes free. They also offer 10% to you if you receive any rebate money on a Walgreen’s giftcard. My daughter told me about this and it has saved us a bundle.
