Screw Walmart. They don't provide insurance for their own employees and I
hate their business practices. I really try to push Target as they have the
same $4 list and have been so much more responsive to my patients needs
(the
pharmacists in my area). Plus, Target has better hours than Walmart in my
area.

I do keep lists of the $4 drugs in all my exam rooms - nicely covered in
sheet covers. You can find the Walmart lists on line if you are inclined,
but the  drugs are the same and both stores will match anyones drug price.

I do mention both stores, in addition to Costco, to my patients (as anyone
can use Costco pharm without a membership) and in fact made up a
Spanish/English flyer titled "Best Drug Deals in Town" with all three
stores
address/numbers/hours on it and we just hand that to them. BUT I PUSH
TARGET
since they have been the most helpful to both patients and me.
