“Walgreens has the highest prices of any similar store”
That’s true but I think Walgreens hopes you will buy stuff other than prescription drugs out of convenience rather than making another stop. That said we use it just for drugs and other healthcare items, maybe 1% is stuff other than that.
Our store has very little locked up.
Also the curbside pickup is as good or better than Walmart.
Wanna bet the items are on cut list are on the cpi basket used in price survey!
I think it depends on the store.
The more junk they lock up, the less we buy
