With a random assortment of products (detergent, body wash, lotion, etc).
sold at deep discounts.

I figured they either robbed a distribution truck or boosted it from the stores

I first noticed this when I moved here. The cvs at u and Georgia had it all locked up.

I don't think I've seen it anywhere else in the country and I've traveled a lot these past few years.

Maybe I just wasn't looking for detergent.

Why do they lock up condoms though? That should be an insurance claim if they get stolen. People stealing condoms is a good thing for society.

A big bottle of Tide in the CVS near me runs $15 to $20. Dudes sell it on the street for $10.

That's like a 25-50% discount. The SMALL bottles run $5...I remember when I first started watching clothes, i could get the middle sized bottle for $5. But nah it's expensive now and it's easy to flip because everyone has to wash clothes.

fill in the blank fucking detergent.

you gonna spend $10 fine get the big ass bottle of hell...cheer. gain. WHATEVER. its gonna get your clothes just as clean.

its stupid. it destroys property value because the stores dont like the imagery of their goods locked up, right? drives business away RIGHT?

same people that insist on buying domino brand sugar...when the safeway brand is a dollar cheaper. ITS SUGAR.

i imagine yall think supreme gas is totally different from regular too.


does it really matter?

They have febreeze tide. SPORT TIDE (WHICH IS CLUTCH FOR ATHLETES). All kinds of Tide flavors. and it's tried and true.

Tide is actually one name brand that is better than the non-name brand.

Gain is cool for small loads. Cheer has the good detergent for darks. But really...Tide is the best one.

relatively high up in it.

they only difference between em is in the "additives" which MAY add a few months of driving to the life of your vehicle. in exchange youre paying an additional 20-30 cents per gallon for that "premium" over the same life of that vehicle. do you think if you put regular gas in your premium engine it would just break down? cmon.

dedicated to helping corporations like Proctor and Gamble protect something special they've developed that separates their product from competitors. i've HEARD rumors about a thing called 'trademark' but i don't believe it exists. b/c for what? all products are the same and only the box color separates them.

fuck you.

Pretty much every store I shop at treats Tide like it's top shelf liquor.

Also condoms and men's razor carts are under lock and key EVERYWHERE. The razors I kinda get why they would get stolen; them shits is $25 for a pack of 5 for the Gilette Fusion Proglide joints and more for others. I have a Fusion I haven't bought naan cart for 'cause they're so damned expensive.
