[QUOTE="J.P., post: 1902307, member: 6"] So here's the deal....... I fill three 'scripts at one of two different local 'mom-n-pop' drugstores and the following is a price breakdown vs. all of the big name chain stores...... 1) [B]$100[/B] (vs. $180-200+ at all of the various big chain stores) 2)[B]$150[/B] (vs. $200-$300 at all of the big chain stores) 3)[B]$80[/B] (vs. $250-$350 at all of the big chain stores) I have asked/inquired with each of the mega-stores as to whether they would 'price match' my current pharmacy. Every...single...time after learning what I currently pay the mega-store pharmacists reply with an exact or very similar version of the following: "There's no way we can afford to sell them that cheap...I don't know how they can afford to do that...our cost is much higher that that.....Sorry" Go figure. :anyone: While I'm certainly no expert in this particular arena it doesn't take much brainpower at all to understand that the mega-stores should immediately carry the advantage of volume wholesale discount buying.
