Let's just clear the air: I love Target. No other store lets me assuage my financial and environmental consciences by occasionally purchasing Method hand soap on a clearance end cap. Nevertheless, sometimes one has to take a stand. An I-love-you-man,-but-your-girlfriend's-a-raging-bitch stand. I reach that point approximately once a month (no, not then), when I return to my local Target on a pilgrimage for Clear Care contact solution. Now, let's ignore for a moment that I have to use prissy eye drops to keep myself from looking as though I've smoked two joints after having double black eyes for breakfast. I may be prissy, but I'm no dumbass. Sadly, it seems the entire staff of the Target pharmacy cannot make a similar claim, being that for months, they have sold one 12-oz. bottle of Clear Care + one contact case for $6.99, while simultaneously advertising a "Value Pack" of two 12-oz. bottles + one contact case for $13.99. That's right, kids: for the privilege of getting one fewer contact cases than you would if you purchased two bottles separately, you can get the great "Value" of paying one cent more for your solution! $6.99 + $6.99 = $13.98, you fools! Sure, there's not much you can buy with a penny besides a night with Lindsay Lohan, but that doesn't stop the "Value Pack" label from being as irksome as she is. Grr, corporate America. Grr.
