Just got back from Wal-Mart, where I picked up three prescriptions for my mother. Total cost for a month’s worth of three prescription drugs: $6.75 with tax.
When I told my wife she explained that she had shopped around. One of mom’s drugs is $40 at Walgreen’s, $20 at a local pharmacy chain, or $2 at Wal-Mart. It’s hard to believe how different prices can be. Way to go, wife.
I’d like Wal-Mart’s pharmacy even better if they had longer hours and a drive-through, but for those kind of savings I’ll adjust my schedule and walk a little.

Browse the ammo while you’re there, occasionally they have deals on cheap blasting stuff.
I used to hit Winchester .223 45gr hollowpoints up here for super cheap, decent deals on Winchester 9mm and .45 100packs sometimes also.
$40, $20 and $2!? It sounds like the right hand doesn’t know what the invisible hand is doing.

Yes, but then they’d have to charge $20 to offset the increased expenses.
Stormy, I think you’re right.
Wal-Mart was a pioneer in 24 hour operations, so I used to think it was odd that their pharmacy had closed at 8:00 or whatever. Now I think the short hours are one reason their prices are so low.
