Should i get my prescription drugs at Walmart rather than CVS-
Pharmacy? Walmart has reputation of items being cheaper, so i was
wondering if the drugs would be cheaper also? Or does it matter?
Thanks.

Call both and ask what they charge. Then compare their responses and
see which is cheaper.

Thanks, i called and they gave me a quote with no insurance. I didn't
even know that they were allowed to give quotes for prescription drugs
since i have health insurance. They gave me a quote assuming i had no
health insurance.

If you go online to Wally World's website, they have a list of the meds that
come with a $4 copay. These are irrespective of insurance.

Target has the same deal. I get one of my meds through my insurance, and
the other one is on their $4 list, so I don't even bother with insurance for
that one. Just because you have insurance doesn't mean you have to use it.

Of course a pharmacy should be able to tell you what a prescription costs.
There are too many people who pay privately.
