Calif NP <np at c-zone.net> wrote:    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.
   
   
  not only the door checkers...who around here don't have a problem
    I recently sent my hubby in to pick up his own script...I had called it in...it was a refill..and I am the member...the pharm clerk said ONLY the member could pick it up!!  not true...
   
  I marched down there ..asked to speak to head pharmacist..she said..no...anyone could pick it up etc etc..
   
  pays to know ahead of time what the "rules" are...
   
  agree that Costco is wayyyy cheaper that any other place....price for his med at Walmart was $79...just picked up a refill and it was $34(depends upon the generic they are using that fill...last fill it was $47 or so...)
