CVS Pharmacy has been compared to Walgreens, Walmart, and DrugStore.com in regard to has better prices in a product comparison review by Stacy Johnson on Money Talks News.  She states that, "Considering drugstores have the word "drugs" in their name, you would think they'd be the cheapest on over-the-counter medicines. But I found a better deal elsewhere on an 80-count package of Advil Liqui-Gels.

• Walgreens: $10.99.
• CVS: $10.99.
• Wal-Mart: $7.97.
• Drugstore.com: $12.59.

Walgreens and CVS tied; Wal-Mart won.". 
In regard to personal care items, she purchased a 24-ounce bottle of Dove Go Fresh body wash for comparison.  Her findings are listed below.

• Walgreens: $7.49.
• CVS: $7.19.
• Wal-Mart: $5.
• Drugstore.com: $8.99.

She goes on to say that, "CVS provided a better price than Walgreens, but by only 30 cents. Again, Wal-Mart topped them both, offering the product for more than $2 less.".  

Cary Byrd at EDrugSearch has also discussed CVS Pharmacy drug prices versus Wal-Mart’s generic drug prices.  She states that, "As Wal-Mart has taken the lead in lowering prices on generic drugs among brick-and-mortar retailers, the major drug chains have been slow to respond.  Walgreens came around first, and now CVS has finally responded — with a $9.99 price point on a 90-day supply of about 400 different medications starting later this month.".
