[NPInfo] Target, Walmart and Costco for drugs

[Christine Smith]

I agree Barbara - you have to go where it is most convenient. However, I
have two Targets and Two Walmarts within 5 miles so this is not an issue
here.

In some small towns, Walmart may be the only option for these less
expensive options. We are 45-50 miles away from the nearest Target or
Costco.

While I avoid the store like the plague, chances are I'll be visiting the
pharmacy in order to get meds for Mom.
