I've had a Costco card for less than a year, but I just found out they have a pharmacy (I'm late to the game, I know!)

I was given a prescription with about 4 items all on one page. I don't have insurance and so was 'shopping' around. It turns out two of four were cheaper, on significantly more ( about $85) while the other two were more expensive than CVS and Target. Since the scripts were all printed on the same page, they wouldn't let me give half at a time, I had to do all.

But generally has anyone else found that the prescriptions are cheaper at Costco, Target, Walmart, CVS? Would be great to know for next time.

Thanks!

Where do you shop for prescriptions? Do you do so online or in-person? Do you get them delivered? How did you find the best deal? Are your prescriptions covered by insurance?

Let's share!

Take care,

Lizzi from the Carenity team

I actually get my over the counter from Amazon. Their name brand are less expensive, and many of the generic is manufactured by the same companies as the name brand with the exact same ingredients, the only thing different is the price.
