[NPInfo] Costco

[Calif NP]

In Northern CA Costco has consistently been giving the best prices on name
brand & generic drugs, with dramatically lower prices than ANY of the other
name pharmacies, including Target, Wal-Mart, etc. which remain very
competitive. Also, the pharmacists/staff at Costco(s) seem to be sensitive
to trying to save clients money & are willing to do client education, look
into alternative sources to help pay for drugs, etc. etc.  Tell clients to
advise the door member card checkers that they do not have to be Costco
members to use the pharmacy and to advise the door checkers of this.
