FYI: Wal-Mart has generic prescriptions for $4.00.
I know how most members feel about shopping at Wal-Mart and I respect your right to do so. That said, for reasons I don't want to go into, I don't have that luxury.

Here's the deal Wal-Mart and Sam's Club have 314 generic drugs for only $4.00 for a 30-day supply. I have found three of my four drugs I use regularly on this list for $4.00. The savings are greatly needed on my fixed income.

This is a list of the states.

1. but costco
i looked up a couple of these on the costco online pharmacy. they are mostly no more that $8. since their other drugs are usually much cheaper there than other places, you might save more money in the end. you should get all your drugs in one place, so that any interactions, etc, can be caught by the pharmacist. i know i would rather put my health in the hands of a costco employee that a walmart one.
i would urge you to look at your total cost, not just one or 2 drugs. let us know how that comes out. one of the things i am the most grateful for in my life is good insurance, including drugs.

2. No Costco here.
This even beats my mail order for three months @ $20.00 vs $12.00. Of the four drugs I take three are on the list.

3. i believe costco online pharmacy does mail order.
but i understand when you have to do what you have to do.
we all try in our personal decisions to be "blue", but there is only so much personal decisions can matter. that is why we used to have a government. maybe we will again some day.
