And get some of the lowest cost generic drugs in the US.
This does not seem to be widely known, so I thought I’d share it.
For an interesting report on the costs of generic drugs, read the transcript or watch this Newshour segment. One example they used was a generic breast cancer med that varied from $10 at Costco to over $400 at a major chain pharmacy.
The nongenerics are pretty darn cheap too (I priced out Synvisc earlier this year at several places, and they were the cheapest). Same for the OTC drugs; my savings on loratadine (Claritin generic) alone more than pays for an annual executive membership. If you take any OTC drugs on a regular basis, run the numbers - you might be quite pleasantly surprised.
