It confirms that they cut prices because Joe told them to do so... that’s what Dr. Jill says.

Ok - if they can afford to take less profits in the current economic climate then good for them and their customers...if they are just posturing, loudly dropping prices on some items while quietly raising prices on others as an offset, then let the buyer beware.

Coca-Cola is my one true addiction. Those scoundrels at Walgreens want $3.25 for a 2L bottle!. That’s more than most of my meds.

“lowered” prices at walgreens still means their prices are WAY higher than everyone else’s ... i really don’t know why people shop at walgreens ...

FJB has already been boasting that his jaw-boning of CEOs forced them to lower prices. Despicable old coot.

This is a sign that we are in a recession or heading into one. Consumers have maxed out their credit cards and now have trouble buying essentials. Sales down 4.3% in just one quarter.

You know that these corporate boards have had a little birdie chirping in their ear, saying if they want to avoid having happen to them what’s happening to Trump, they’ll do what they’re told about prices during an election year.

Stock holder lawsuits to follow.

Cut prices when inflation is eating your lunch means lost profits.

Yep, Biden got the usual Democrat dominated businesses to put out a press release saying their “lowering prices”. Yeah, a pack of gum is now $2.95 instead of $2.99. Another scam. What next? The tech barons saying they are now going to censor only a bit less now?

These are political price cuts. They will be temporary until after the election.

Sounds like election interference to me.

Or was this orchestrated by the Biden admin to secure their re-election?

Whoa - prices went up, retail sales went down? That’s just astonishing! Target in particular has learned the reality of Get Woke, Go Broke, which is part of it. But the fact is that people with maxed-out credit cards have to economize - think of them as personal loans at a 20% rate and all of a sudden Vito The Loanshark looks like an amateur.

In an attempt to boost its loyalty program, Walgreens

In an attempt to affect the November election, Walgreens, Walmart, and Target have chosen to TEMPORARILY reduce prices, which will return to their all-time highs shortly after votes are re-re-re-counted.

Thank you for referencing that article Paul46360. Note that the following critique is directed at the referenced stores and not at you.

"THIS will be used by Biden admin to PROVE that the economy is on the rebound"


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Pro-Biden stores need to show pre-Biden prices next to their price cuts on price tags.
