Generic Bargains

In the last few years, several chains have followed Walmart's lead to offer certain generic prescriptions for $4 that is cheaper than most copays. This helps tremendously those who have no insurance or high copays.UPDATE: Kroger, Target, and Walmart now have 90 day supplies of some generics for $10! For many this is cheaper than your normal co pay from your insurance company.

Not to be outdone, Meijer offers several generic antibiotics free. UPDATE: Meijer now offers several brands of prenatal vitamins free.!
Kmart has a generic program that is $15 for a ninety day supply for select generic drugs. Although it averages $5 a month, there is only one trip to the pharmacy saving time and gasoline.
