You get one grocery bag to get whatever you want at walgreens and the goal is to get the highest dollar value. Pharmacy back room off limits. What do you go for?

Wait, that appears to be a trick question. Most expensive or value for the dollar? Womens makeup does probably cost the most, probably higher than generic drugs.

Do we get caught and punished? If not, then...

Wallets, car keys, and lottery scratchers (if equipped). Duh.

I think I've only seen lotto vending machines at walgreens, not reels for the clerks to deal with

The question is, what's the most expensive SMALL items that would fit in a grocery bag. Assuming it's the plastic bags they use at Walgreens, that's not that much volume, so unless there's one bigger ticket item that would fit in the bag, I'd think filling it with a bunch of small, relatively high priced stuff would be the way to go.

Maybe fill it with higher end razor blades? Or how about packages of the disc shaped batteries for your car's keyfob? Packs of those are probably upwards of $ 10, and they're so small, thin and lightweight, you could cram probably hundreds of them into a shopping bag, although a store probably wouldn't stock that many.

I don't know much about makeup, but that seems like a possible winner as well. What's a lipstick cost? $ 8+? Those are small, I bet you could easily get a couple hundred of them in a bag.

$60.00, about the mass of a 12 oz soda.
You could put at least 40 in a small plastic shopping bag.

Looks about the same volume as cologne or perfume which could probably get over $100
