What feels like a scam

Amazon charges $29.97 more than Walmart for peach gut drink.

For magnesium

Walmart charges $18.94

Fred meyers charges $14.49

Amazon charges $12.49

(All are 250 mg all are 60 caps each)

Fred meyers doesn't have the gut stuff.

Walmart has it but it's different city

Amazon has it but it's 29.97 more.

Walmart charges 48 dollars for both then delivery is 58 the tip and tax leaves you spending $66.68

Amazon charges more for one of the items plus the delivery tax and fee your spending more

There is no win 😭
