Target pharmacy also has very good prices on some Rx's, tho not all.

Weird -- no one chain seems to have best prices overall. Appears to depend on specific chains cutting deals for specific drugs. E.g., my statin is about $40 for 30 pills most everywhere except for Rite Aid where the price is $9.99.

Interesting. Here's a comparison in the UK. Pills such as Viagra and Cialis are available for free on the NHS if a physician prescribes them for medical reasons - total cost at the pharmacy of $15 to the patient for however many pills. I take Cialis for recreational reasons (ie not covered by the NHS) and pay the pharmacist $10 per pill.

Last month in Bangkok I went to the pharmacy for hard on meds. I was offered Viagra, seemingly real, for $12 a pill, 4 to a box.

Then the tech showed me a Thai version for $1 a pill, four to a box.

I am not sure what off course means. I went to a regular pharmacy. I bought both kinds.

Work? Those pills can be so confusing. Sometimes they work all too well, other times you wonder what you took. I wonder how many foreign pills regular pharmacies like Walgreens substitute for the real thing?

I just learned my primary care provider shops around for the best prescription    prices.

How about that.

My insurance is Obamacare.
