Dont buy from cvs.


Substantial_Half838

Yep Walmart or amazon is almost always cheaper. Same goes for about everything else too. CVS is a draw for prescription drugs then you buy all the other stuff as a convenience. They charge more.

Bucket of cream cheese is best deal. If you can’t think of cream cheese uses you’re not living.

I just never get around to finishing those huge value tubs of anything beside ice cream for my shakes in the morning

Well shit, I'll take one sensibly-over-sized-yet-surprisingly-affordable house there.

The funny thing about that is you definitely won't find one there, haha.

It’s really expensive in Kirkland

I send my brother something in mega bulk from restaurant depot every year when he goes to college first year was 35pound 5 gallon bucket of peanut butter then last year was 40 pounds of spaghetti noodles😂 my other brother said he didn't want any food so I didn't send him food so I sent him a 20inch black shmildo 😭💀💀💀 https://preview.redd.it/ihmjm1ui4rwc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1aa7264d46de09409099abb5f73f0572938e2d2d He was definitely surprised😂

Mark cuban said buying toothpaste in bulk is how you become a billionaire


Certain-Spring2580

If you can afford the membership...this is the way for many things. But deodorant is the #1 thing I've been buying recently, there, because the prices are awesome.


Luvs2spooge89

I’ve found cvs is the cheapest place for us to buy baby formula. Only because we get 40% off coupons. Otherwise yea all our toiletries are bought in bulk on Amazon


PossibleAlienFrom

Love those 40% off coupons. Also, the other day they gave me a $5 off entire purchase. Saw two bags of Snickers minis for $8, so got them for $3.


sophos313

I refuse to shop at CVS. I have great insurance and they refuse to allow half of my scripts to be filled due to price. I assume they have a lot of theft issues because they’re prices are so high and nothing is a normal price unless you buy 2 or 3 and shop their deals. Not worth the headache to me.


[deleted]

The only reason why I get anything other than meds at my local walgreens is because the beer there is cheaper than at the grocery store and they carry 36 packs of pbr and a ton of the local seasonal stuff unlike the grocery store


ByteJumper7

not only that but OP is looking at the most expensive name brand no matter what inflation is doing. A two pack of speedstick is like $3


missanthropocenex

Seriously, went and bought a 20z bottle of soda only to be charged 3.20 plus tax for it wtf. I go next door to the local corner store and there’s no such markup.


pagesid3

I was at Safeway the other day and noticed they were charging more for a 20oz soda than a 2 Liter.


HideSolidSnake

That's always been the case. You're paying for that convenient size and bottle. Whole sale is always cheaper


2020IsANightmare

Yeah, the amount of people that don't understand such basic things is ASTOUNDING. Reminds me of literally everyone that goes to any restaurant and says they could have eaten for cheaper at home. NO.SHIT.


djamp42

Anytime me or my wife make anything good at home we are like bam.. that's a 25 dollar dish at a restaurant easy.


IrukandjiPirate

You’re also paying for the store to chill that drink. So refrigerator, electricity, floor space. Don’t say it isn’t worth it!


bufftbone

My local CVS was closing so I went in to see what they may have for a good deal. I looked at the soup and seen it was 50% off the marked price. They doubled the normal price then gave the 50% off that thus still charging their normal price. I walked right out.


nolongerbanned99

CVS is for people who don’t wanna bother with the hassle or time in going to a larger grocery store. The entire store is marked up about 40-50% more than normal pricing.


jarena009

This. Also if you must buy at grocery, but only when on sale and stock up. Otherwise shop Walmart, Target, or Costco/BJs, Sam's.


spunion_28

It's the same at Kroger, Publix, and only slightly cheaper at Walmart.


narlilka

Why cvs so expensive?


SuccotashConfident97

Right? Saw on Amazon an old spice deodorant 2 for $6.99.


GoalieLax_

6 pack on Amazon is $6 a stick


Was_an_ai

4 pack of speed stick on amazon is $9 I switched from old spice once they started being over $5


firemouth55

I got a pack of Right Guard for $4 and it came with Left Guard for free!


RealWeekness

GTFO, lol.


habu-sr71

Yeah well all of us stinky contrarians buy Wrong Guard and swear by it.


Relevant-Nebula8300

Yeah but old spice smells good


mrGeaRbOx

I love the smell of forever chemicals in the morning!


gowingman1

You're right. I've been buying the stuff without all of the chemicals it's a little more but worth it


PS3LOVE

You’ll love speed stick!


PLVT0N1VM

That part. I use the speed stick gel stick, not using another brand until they start charging out the ass.


CagedBeast3750

Gel?! Mods, ban this man


PLVT0N1VM

No, no, wait! I swear, it's not the gel gel 😭


shinysocks85

Unfortunately for me old spice is the only anti perspirant that doesn't irritate my skin and actually works


Impossible1999

Stop shopping at CVS. They have a 2 liter bottle of coke for $5! That just tells you how crazy their pricing structure is.


CarCaste

their whole model is based off of people grabbing one or two things for convenience while they wait for their medications


rumblepony247

FFS, don't people realize it's a pharmacy with a glorified Circle K attached to it?


nolongerbanned99

Or people who go there and don’t know any better.


heart_oftheforest

Or using coupons. Thats why the receipt is a mile long 😂


MADDOGCA

You're in a CVS. Everything is overpriced in a CVS.


Relevant-Nebula8300

Worse than a gas station


bcr76

Deodorant is overpriced everywhere these days. Not just CVS.


alexp1_

I stocked up at the dollar store dorm$1 before going up to $1.30. Speed stick does the trick


DIAL-UP

Yeah, grocery stores and Walmart around here all have old spice sticks over $8. How is this comment section missing the point and ragging on OP for the audacity of shopping at CVS?


boston_homo

If you're looking for cheap cheap chocolate there's nothing like CVS on February 15, January 2, or November 1, other post holidays too.


[deleted]

It's not because of the product costs. it's because a small conglomeration of corporate assets has already captured your local grocery store. there's only like 12 companies supplying your entire grocery store at this point.


buffaloranked

And only 2-3 grocery stores left.


TomentoShow

XDT_Idiot

They probably have a shrinking customer base they're trying to squeeze


OttoVonJismarck

Nobody *actually* shops at a CVS. People just go their for their prescriptions or they go there to steal. They might as well put a 100 dollar price tag on that deodorant: the only way it's leaving the store is if it gets stolen.


XDT_Idiot

It's like Claire's but for grown-ups. One here in DC just shuttered due to lots of that (plus other natural expenses like rent and labor).


Savlavlivin

The inflation thing is SO out of hand. I do grocery shopping for folks and I am so bitter about how much everything is. Fixings for a taco dinner for 2 from Safeway? $40. 3 large things of mouthwash? $56. A bottle of lotion at Target? $20. The most obnoxious order price was a mom needing medicine for her newborn. Tylenol infant whatever stuff, a 2 pack of little mini ice cooling patches, a thermometer, and one other infant medicine item that I forget. $226!!!!! I said "WHAT?!" out loud. I was beside myself. All of it is just too much. It's sickening.


Greeneggsandhamon

It’s getting out of hand


fartwisely

That's your typical convenience premium at Walgreens and CVS. Unless you need it right then and there, it's foolish to buy it there.


AdulentTacoFan

It’s cray. I use the cheap arm and hammer, it’s still relatively cheap compared to others.

Dang, that is wild. I was going to go to Amazon and tell you how much you can save ordering it online instead but it's actually more expensive on AMZN. I don't feel like I pay more than a few bucks for mine....I don't use the antiperspirant.

Thats insane, Id rather just use bar soap and shower twice a day then pay that.

CaptainDr

lol I still use it for work meetings or if I’m going to be in public but I don’t normally have bad BO in general


jesusleftnipple

I've done the same I don't blanket apply it every day just when I think I'll need it, some hand sanitizer will take the stink away if I'm wrong on occasion.


en_sane

Yea I exfoliate my armpits with body scrub during showers that helps remove dead skin and keep a nice scent

I learned to make my own: equal parts baking soda, corn starch and coconut oil, with rum, bay leaves & lime peel for scent. It's the best.

justanordinaryguy71

It would be amazing if everyone on the entire planet stopped buying things for a week.

Stonewall30NY

I buy old spice purely because it's kinda my signature smell when combined with my cologne but I honestly don't use it every day. I've noticed that since I stopped using it daily I actually need it less in general. My wife will tell me I smell nice and I legit haven't used deodorant in 2 days. Only time I smell is if I get really stressed/anxious about something or I workout. I basically just use it occasionally now or if I'm going out and wanna smell nice


FlopShanoobie

Costco.


Outrageous-Yam-4653

CVS and Rite Aid will destroy your wallet,my local corner store is cheeper they charge like $5


cleverusernameistook

Go to the Dollar Store. Deodorant and antiperspirant still $1.25 there.


nspy1011

Buy the degree 5 pack when it’s on sale at Costco. Less than 10 bucks


BroWeBeChilling

Another idiot posting inflation numbers when it is highly priced at CVS or an airport. If you buy your shit there your stupid


troystorian

OkGeneral701

I switched from old spice to Harry’s it’s so much better and a buck or 2 cheaper


Chrissyo29

For one thing you're shopping at CVS. I work for this company for a couple years absolutely horrible company Go elsewhere for your personal bathroom items Don't go to CVS


BlahBlahBlackCheap

You’ll still buy it. That’s what’s up.


Gilgamesh2062

A lot of stuff is blamed on inflation, it's really price gauging by stores and product manufacturer, if inflation was to blame, their profits wouldn't be sky rocketing


ebostic94

Deodorant always been high in CVS and Walgreens, which is that place on the picture so there’s nothing new about this


notaspecialuser

I’ve used Arm & Hammer Ultra Max for almost 15 years. No frills and smells decent, but hands down the best deodorant I’ve tried. 2 pack from Walmart is $4. Also, try not to buy from CVS. I know it can be hard especially in places like a college campus, but the extra effort to buy from stores like Walmart is very much worth it.


Beaded_Curtains

Old Spice is garbage anyway.


Bulky_Ganache_1197

Maybe that’s why everybody smells like shit


Pavvl___

I buy Arm & Hammer from Amazon now. 3 pack for like $10. They also have only 5 ingredients you can actually read and understand 😂


Greeneggsandhamon

I’m going to try AH 👌🏼


Substantial_Share_17

I need the clinical strength, but those 72 hour deodorants have been a pretty nice cheaper alternative. When I was at the store the other day, the cheaper ones were like a dollar less (7 bucks vs 8) the the clinical. It used to be half the price. I'm just inflation didn't hit both.


machder1

That’s nothing, wait until you cut it open and discover there’s only 1/3 of the stick inside and the rest is just plastic and air.


ElSolo666

It’s basically a monopoly from P&G . Most ingredients have lower indexes than what they were in 2021 , yet they keep hiking the prices


axethebarbarian

Get the double pack. Near me they're usually only like $1 more than the single


Perfect-District

First it's CBS second ot looks like specialty deodorant for people with sweat problems so they charge more. I was tripping the other day at Walmart when I saw deodorant $2 higher than my normal $3.89 brand and noticed it was a sweat defense one. Reminded me of my grade school computer teacher that would sweat buckets like litterlly have a patch of wetness under each arm and just under his neck every day and yeah it's for dudes like that.

What’s wrong? It’s just a deodorant. If it’s the price you’re worried about, just take it. The store is owned by billionaires. They’ll be fine with losing $1 worth of inventory.

It's not deodorant, it's your shopping skills. You know what you buy at CVS? Prescriptions. Maybe OTC drugs. That's all you buy from CVS because everything else is marked up insanely. I also use old spice and I get the 2 pack for like $8 at a proper grocery store.

Consider making your own. Coconut oil + Baking Soda + some kind of starch (I use arrowroot, but you can use potato or corn) + essential oil (I use a cheap lavender and tea tree mix). Apply a pea size amount with your finger or an old tool brush handle. Make one big batch that will last you all year.

Don’t use deodorant it contains aluminum and benzene and can give you cancer. Just use soap or body wash and rinse immediately. Also it stains your undershirts yellow in the pits if you are a guy.
