Same here. My local pharmacist is as cheap as the others for the most part. When I add in the gas and time involved in a half hour drive, then he is definitely cheaper/easier.
Our Ace Hardware, our local grocery, and our dimes stores and Family Dollars are also as cheap as WalMart. And again I save the gas money.
Are you including Family Dollar in ‘local’ stores. I wouldn’t, they are nothing but another wal-mart from what I see.
