The prices here vary wildly depending on where you're shopping. In a Manhattan CVS I wouldn't be surprised to see prices three or four times what you would see in a Nebraska Walmart. I live in the Seattle suburbs and $9.55 for deodorant makes my eyes bug out. I don't think that's normal.

I'm in the midwest and that doesn't sound too far off. I think the fancy Dove deodorant my wife buys is around $8 at Kroger or Target. We only buy it at a Sam's club.

In seattle Greenlake and Safeway had deodorant at $9+ around me. Pretty annoying. I guess i need to buy it stolen on Amazon for a decent price?
And if all this thieving is going on why aren’t grocery stores just doing what Costco does and have membership cards and employees checking entrance and then receipt checkers as well?
The target at northgate has laundry soap locked up. I get Seattle has a terrible fentanyl addiction, weak politicians and poor policing but why can’t the corps make some changes? I guess they’re still making money and I’m still spending
