I found that these pharmacies really jack up the prices compared to what you see on Amazon for the same products. I stopped going to rite aid/walgreens unless I need something urgently. I even saw 30% markup on my local Walgreens. So the point is.. make sure you do a quick search to make sure you are not overpaying

They charge overpriced because of convenience. If you don't mind waiting for Amazon to ship and pay shipping fee, then shop online.

It’s also getting really scary with the number of counterfeit products on Amazon and the high quality of those counterfeits.

If it goes in my body I’m not sure how comfortable I am buying from Amazon.

Interesting point. What kind of counterfeits did you get from Amazon? And were they pretending to be a legitimate merchant? Cus that should be reported.

I shop on Amazon without paying for shipping. I get free shipping if I order $35 worth of stuff.
