The Rules

Yeah, I end up still using their pharmacy because the pharmacist is just a great guy and he takes care of people. But the rest of the store can fuck right off.

If you have good insurance you might not notice this, but drug prices at Walgreens and CVS are significantly more expensive than many other pharmacies, like Walmart, Costco, or HEB. Compare prices on Goodrx.com and see

I assume their entire business model is "Hope the boomers don't notice we jacked the price up significantly."

Truth.

More and more supermarkets are opening up pharmacies to compete. And in my town, private practices are now starting to also have a pharmacy.

I'm not supporting Walmart though.
