Why are condoms cheaper at 7-11 than CVS/Target/Ralphs?

Condoms are about $1.25 per condom in a 3 pack at 7-11. It is almost two dollars more for the same package at any drugstore, mall store, grocery store. Why is that? I thought 7-11's prices for everything was higher because of the convenience fee.

They come with extra pinholes. Free!
 
They really just recycle condoms they pickup from behind the store.

Maybe you need a friend that can go to costco and pick you up some at 40cents each.
 
It doesnt matter either way, just dont buy cheap-ass condoms.

And for the love of sweet Jesus dont use the shit they give away at the free clinic. You may as well just go straight to Kids'R'Us and get a baby carriage.

Condoms have an insanely high theft rate therefore most places have a huge mark up on them to recover the cost of stolen condoms. Perhaps 7-11 doesn't have the theft problem on condoms.
 
supply and demand - if you have a chick waiting for you to come over where you going to stop? a CVS? or a 7-11 where you can pretend to be filling up gas/getting a slurpee/picking up some beer? I'm guessing 7-11 is providing those valuable condom sales
 
If you want quality condoms for free, go to any college dorm in the country. They put them up in common areas and halls and shit because colleges don't want their students getting knocked up. I took maybe 300 condoms from my school. I didn't even need them; my girlfriend was on the pill most of that time. But hell, you never know. I did end up using them all eventually. The best thing about a condom is that if you make a balloon dog with it, it will have a nose.

😕 We get free Trojans at the health center. Sure beats buying them.

Trojans are the worst condoms out there. I'm not even going to go into the old gag about the Trojan horse smuggling little men in and bursting forth, nor that the Trojans LOST the damn war. But there were actual studies that showed that Trojans were less effective than other brands (they weren't the least effective, but they weren't at the top). And I can't find a link to that study because it's 4 am and I'm tipsy and lazy. So you'll have to take my word for it, which I realize is internet for "I am full of shit." But I don't care. I used Trojans once, I not only got my girlfriend pregnant, I got pregnant too. And my mother. The dead one. So fuck Trojan.

I honestly have no idea why I just railed against Trojans, but it's fun, so screw it. Except the part about my dead mother, which made me sad. But she knows it's all in fun, so it's all good... I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep now.
