The Walgreens Prescription
Here is an article where someone decided to compare actual drug prices between major drug stores and bulk product retailers like Sam’s Club or Costco. The differences in price are pretty startling. If you have insurance and the drug in question is covered, then this would be a moot point. The point is that it illustrates the glaring difference in pricing models employed by different retailers. You also have to wonder what these places are charging your insurance company. We hear about the skyrocketing costs of health care all the time, but maybe what we should call it is the sky’s the limit!
