Generic drugs

NewMexiKen has mentioned Wal-Mart’s $4 price for many generic prescription drugs. Many, many other pharmacies have followed suit — so lets give the evil empire from Bentonville credit for leading the way, but shop elsewhere.

My insurance co-pay for generic prescriptions is $20 for 90 pills (by mail). I can now get 100 pills at Costco for $10.19 total, no insurance.

$9.81 every three months isn’t life changing money, but I’m happy for the savings.

Shop around.

And if you’re concerned about whether to take generic brands, you must have missed Chemistry class in high school. It’s all the same stuff.
