Just walking thought their aisles of colorful and affordable products makes us giddy. Well, at least we thought that they were affordable. </p>

<p>According to CBS 5, San Mateo County prosecutors claim that our beloved Walgreens has "<a href="http://cbs5.com/local/Walgreens.lawsuit.settle.2.618711.html">agreed to pay $767,000 to four California counties to settle a claim of overcharging customers at its stores.</a>" (What! How could you?) It seems that after a routine inspection of Walgreens' price scanners, the Illinois-based chain failed to give many of their customers the lowest advertised price. And at times, according to the report, they even marked up the prices. The nerve.</p>

<p>Guess this means that we'll have to start checking our receipts, which could possibly lead to other dangerous behavior like balancing our checkbook and paying our bills in a timely fashion. Shudder. Still, how dare you, Walgreens. We now plan on buying our two-for-one <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pringles">sleeves of Pringles</a> elsewhere. Hrumph.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
