Re: Walgreens a MAJOR Rip-Off For Prescriptions

[Guest guest]

Hi Jeff and Group,

Personally I have nothing against Walmarts or Sam's Club. We stock up

once a month at Walmarts for cat litter which is about half the price

of the grocery store brand.

For prescription drugs we go to Costco. We don't have a membership,

but as the article says, they must sell to non-members as well.

Hubby and I like to think of ourselves as " value shoppers " . We don't

mind paying more for quality, and sometimes it's a matter of

convenience, but otherwise we prefer to get the most bang for the buck.

Like today, we just got back from the 99c Only Store.

It is not like those crumby dollar stores. This place is fantastic.

Everything is 99c or multiples for 99c. Name brands, closeouts,

grocery items and now produce. With lettuce going for $1.59 a head,

we just got two packs of romaine for 99c. Also two packs of red bell

peppers, and 4 packs of avocados. Also 99c for 99 minute phone cards.

I totally agree with you about needing to stop behaving like sheep.

One of the beauties of the American way is that we have a competitive

system that works on supply/demand, as you stated. When it comes to

high priced drugs, we really need to shop around and get value for our

money. As they ask, " What will you do with all the money you save? " ;-)
