Generic Drugs
Walmart's decision, last week, to sell generic prescription
drugs, a 30 day supply, for $4 just made good news copy
and may shake up the prices charged by the large drug
chain stores.......
Have you ever walked into a Walmart store and just
walked out after spending just $4......I doubt it.......
And this pricing IS NOT a "loss leader" item for their
stores either.......Some corporate retirement plans are
supplying generic drugs for less than $4, for a 30 day
supply.......These plans are postage free mail services....
Target has announced that it will match the Walmart
$4 price......They to will also take advantage of "other
shopping" while you are in the store picking up your
prescription......
The "ball" is now in Walgreens, CVS and Rite-Aid's
"court".......Let's see if they follow Walmart's lead......
Also bear in mind that if you walk into a drug store
you usually ONLY buy drugs.....OK, maybe a lipstick
or greeting card......Pumps
