CVS and corner stores generally inflate prices outrageously. For example, for 24 pills of Aceteminophen (Paracetamol), you'll pay $4.59 at CVS [1] vs $1.19 for 50 pills at Target [2]. It's even cheaper if you buy in bulk. CVS is just a ripoff and primarily caters to people who need something right now or at some odd hour.
Generally, generic drugs aren't too expensive in the US. But we pay more for many brand drugs.
