Pricing Scam: Licensed pharmacist compares ibuprofen tablets bought at CVS and at Aldi - CVS Ibuprofen is $9.59 for 100 tablets - Aldi is $1.69 for 100 tablets Both are 200mg. When you open them up and inspect them, they’re exactly the same tablet. Same stamp, they came out... of the exact same factory - The imprint I-2 / I2 on 200 mg ibuprofen is a known generic mark - A factory manufacturers a batch of these pills - They then get packed and labeled for different retailers Same exact pill, just different packaging and pricing depending on what store This is what’s know as private labeling in retail CVS charges a premium for the “pharmacy trust” factor Most people would agree this feels like a scamshow more

CVS is expensive af. No one goes there here. Parking lot is always empty lol.

In all fairness to CVS, they have overhead costs that Aldi doesn't 😂😂😂

Aldi's is awesome!!! It's my go-to store for groceries!!!

I would hope that people already knew that CVS and Walgreens have interesting pricing.

There are many manufacturers that will manufacture an item for anyone who wants to put his own packaging on it and buy the minimum order. When I had a pet store, I had the opportunity to do the same for bird feed mix that could have been packaged with my own brand.

It's not just Aldi, Family Dollar and Dollar General do the same thing

CVS and Walgreens are glamorized ponzi schemes

At the local CVS pharmacies where I live, I hardly ever see anyone looking at, much less buying any of their 100% to 300% markup items.

You are paying for the convenience. If you are shopping at CVS to stock up on supplies you are just retarded. Aldi's and CVSs models are at complete opposite ends of the spectrum.

Nobody should be taking this stuff, it doesn't work and it's incredibly dangerous

Yawn… there will always be differences in prices. Movie theatre Sugar Daddy’s vs Walmart Sugar Daddy’s…

CVS pays your local healthcare providers. This will be a 3 month process until your healthcare provider shifts to a more affordable prescription program like “GoodRx”. Hold them accountable Accordingly. 🤌🏼

Straight facts, no hype. This is why you and @Nainahf are top-tier follows.

Shopping at pharmacies is expensive. What a revelation

CVS, at least in San Diego, is super ghetto

You should give credit to @Grant_Harting the Pharmacist on YouTube.

its the same in multiple fields if you want to look. its not JUST there.. i've worked in several different types of food services&manufacturing, its literally tha price of a label or brand, NO different blend of ingredients at all.. cheese for sure..

So hear Me out: We take Aldi pills and mark them Up 600%…..no one will know!

I may have to start shopping at Aldi.

Some news is too good to take in all at once. This calls for my favorite music.

Wait til you find out America subsidizes drug costs in other countries and forces their own consumers to pay exponentially more to finance it

And those fukcin cocksuckers don't sell cigarettes either

GRANT! My favorite YT Pharmacist, licensed in 4 states!

This is how I buy them, at Costco. Just took 800mg for my back, you doomers. Been taking 4x200mg since the mid 80s. Bloodwork twice a year says my liver is fine.

What's the scam? Customer looks at price, decides if convenience of immediate purchase is preferable to finding lower price elsewhere. In an airport, Ibuprofen might be $9.59 for 25 tablets. Amazon now: Advil 200 mg 200 count $16.96 Ibuprofen 200 mg 200 count $ 4.79 People still pay premium to buy name brands.

@birdiebelly1

@grok are these pills manufactured in the same exact manner and are 100% of the ingredients the same?

BS

Its all depending on brand, I absolutely hate DG Health products- Ibuprofen all of it sucks

Do vitamins next @cvspharmacy

It’s called private labeling. It goes on with food too.

@grok Indian factory?
