I tried registering online for the $4 prescription drugs in walmart, but they put me onhold for so long, told me that they will call my doctor first. but its been 4 months now. so i just stayed with CVS and get everything there. i havent tried walgreens.

For a long time, it was CVS. Then I switched to Walgreens, where there were shorter lines. A doctor gave me a prescription and said that the insurance wouldn't cover it, so I should shop around. At CVS, it was $250.00, Walgreen's charged $275.00. At Target's pharmacy, it was $120.00. I've gone to Target ever since, and the people and the service couldn't be better. Once they gave me the wrong strength of one of my usual meds, and they called and told me not to take it. Then one of their pharmacists came to my house to trade the wrong one for the right one. Now that's good service!
Each time you fill a dozen scrips, they send you a card worth ten percent off everything you buy in a 24-hour period, adn there are times when that's a lot.

My husband is on 4 prescriptions for blood pressure so I am able to get them mail order from my insurance company. It is nice because they send 3 months at a time and they reduce the cost so I am only paying for 2 months. If I need to get a prescription because someone is sick then I go to our local grocery store. They have a program that you get money of gas for each prescription so it is worth it to go there. The only time that I go to CVS or Rite Aid is when they are giving away gift cards for new or transfered prescriptions. I never go to Walmart or Walgreens - our local grocery store has the $4.00 prescriptions so I don't get any benefit going out of my way to Walmart. I also find that Walmart and Target's wait time is so much longer then the other places.

I like CVS to, but I had to change because, my insurance company made it so we had to use mail order, if we do any pharmacy, we would pay the co-pay once, but the next time, it would be doubled. So it is almost mandatory to use this Medco Mail Order system, but one of my prescription I use the Walmarat, $4.00 Plan, it's always $4.00. But I have it filled at the Walmart Pharmacy here in the area I live.

i know that $4 thing too, thats why i wanted to transfer 1 prescription to walmart but its been so long and they havent transfered yet =(
that would help a lot coz i still pay $10 co-pay in CVS.
