It's also worth noting that people don't think of the externalized cost of actually getting to the store verses getting these things shipped. If you have to drive a mile each way just to get that one extra item, the amount your saving from not ordering online is insignificant.

Retail price at Target, Walmart, etc on this is ~$2.89 a bottle. On Amazon it's the "Amazon Choice" for $13.97 for two bottles.

You can get the normal retail prices on all this stuff and still shop online. You just can't do that on Amazon any more.

Yep, Target.com is 2.89 with $25 free ship https://www.target.com/p/formula-409-powerful-all-purpose-cl... -- but for what its worth, the online stores are mostly loss-leaders for the big department/grocery stores trying to stay relevant against Amazon.
