$4.00 prescriptions at Wal-Mart and Target. Putting aside the

[yy4me]

feelings many of us have about Wal-Mart, this situation has to be considered. Perhaps most know about this program but I did not until yesterday.

I had to go to the doctor who prescribed a medicine for me. He said he was writing the script as generic and that it was available at Wal-Mart or Target for $4.00. I never heard about this and went to Wal-Mart to see and sure enough, it was $4.00. There is a long list of medicine available including antibiotics, blood pressure, cholesterol, anti-inflammatory drugs etc. Must be several hundred generic drugs on the list.

I certainly will use this as I need refills

Go to www.walmart.com . Click on pharmacy. The whole list is there.

3. Costco offers the same and is blue, FWIW--and no membership is required for Rx. nt

9. I think they qualify for double blue? Low prices and no membership

required for prescriptions? That's like the old America?

4. True enough. Even an evil corporate beast is capabable of doing good I guess.

The $4 scripts are a good thing. No doubt about it.

5. Just say no to drugs!

6. My blood pressure is soaring and I'm taking many prescriptions.

That $4 price is a blessng for me. Another plus, Wal-Mart's parking lot is 8/10s of a mile from my front door.

8. What no out cry???

Gas stations that lower their price per gallon below what the man says is market price to seniors and youth groups his hammered. Mal-wart has screwed many to make their gross profits of the back of the U.S. worker. They screwed us enough to sell us drugs at below cost. Why are they not held to the same standard? What's up with that?
