What Would Shirley Booth Think?

Duane Reade at 49th & 9th in Hell's Kitchen is selling a 16-oz bottle of Dickinson's witch hazel for $8.49. Same item two weeks ago was selling there at a non-sale price of $5.89. That's a 44% increase!!! Store brand for same item selling for $5.69. Is there something in the vital worldwide witch hazel market (joking....it's such a basic, "nothing special" type of product) causing such a scary run-up in price? Don't think so as price for store brand 16-oz bottle at Target in Brooklyn is selling for $1.72. Shame on you, Duane Reade. Anyone else noticing price gouging at any of the 50,000 DR's in our town?
