imagebrowser imageWal-mart is famous for introducing $4 prescriptions for a limited list of the most commonly used generic medications. That's cheaper than the copay many of us pay today.

But, since WalMart's famous debut, other retail giants have gotten in the game as well.  Wal-Mart's offer is on their site here.  Links for Target, Food City, Kroger's, and Giant Eagle's four dollar prescription programs...

And, the traditional drug stores have followed suit.   Not with 4 dollar prescription plans, but similar plans like $9.99 for 90 days at CVS. Links to the plans from CVS, Rite-Aid and Walgreens:

Makes you wonder how much money the drug companies were bilking Americans out of before WalMart came along and set the $4 prescription drug program up?
It was funny to see all the different stores, Kroger's, Safeway, Costco, Walgreens, CVS, etc, come up with matching programs when their customers started leaving in droves.
Score one for capitalism.
