But as to the OP’s point, Mark’s pharmacy is still more expensive for those drugs.

Needing to have it shipped is not a simple "more expensive".

Going to a store costs money. It also costs time. It's pretty easy for that to hit $5.

People need groceries. They're going to the store anyway.

If you can wait for a mail-order prescription to arrive, you can probably wait until your next grocery shopping trip to get it filled in person.

Most drugs aren't sitting there on the shelf of my local grocery store. And I don't go to Walmart 'anyway'.

You haven't found a drug that's "more expensive", you've just found that shipping is a cost.

Look at the prices yourself, Cost Plus is cheaper for most of them.
