Brick and mortar: Clearance at Longs Drugs (YMMV)

If you follow the Drug Wars, Drug-store wars that is, you probably know that CVS is buying Longs Drugs. Perhaps as part of the change-over, some Longs Drugs stores are having a clearance sale on their digital cameras. These are older models, but still digital. The one we checked had a couple of Olympus FE-series models, one of them offered for $20. Other brands available in the sub-$60 category are GE and Vivitar. There was also a Fuji A900 but I believe that was $60+. Some may have been demos and such.

They also had a couple of non-disposable film cameras (P&S, not SLRs) in the sub-$25 category as well.

Needless to say, this will likely vary from store to store and depending on when you check.
