Last week, I was out doing some recon, when I got a 911 call from my wife. She
was home with some stomach flu. She called me to bring home some antidiarrheal medicine. I quickly headed for the local chain drug store.
It had been a while since I bought any stomach flu – diarrhea type medicine. Like usual I quickly noticed the difference between a name brand and generic. The name brand was $6.99 while the generic was $5.99 for16 fluid ounces.
Later that day, I was in a local chain grocery store. I decided to make a quick check their prices on Pepto-Bismol and that stores generic brand.

I expected a difference in the price between the two, but I was not ready to see such a large difference. Pepto-Bismol was being sold for $8.39 while the stores generic was $4.89. Almost $4 difference!!!
The chain drug store sold Pepto-Bismol for$5.99 while the chain grocery store sold the same bottle $8.39. See it all depends on where you shop, here it was $2.40 difference from one store to another.
