Apparently this strategy works for them, they clearly don't care about value shoppers at all.

They won't price match of course, because they don't care.

All the OTC and HABA stuff I use, I buy at target or online, but sometimes I have to use them or CVS. A three pack of tums at walgreens in the phx area costs about $4.50, it's $1.29 at target. That's a huge difference in margin.

It's like that with everything there.
