We do all our regular prescriptions though the mail with Prime Therapeutics. I think we save quite a bit that way.

9 times out of 10, Costco is the hands-down winner for my pharmacy needs! Plus, you don't have to be a member to use the pharmacy (or the optical or hearing aid center). Plus you can partake in all the yummy samples!! =)
but i do admit that when i really need an $25 gc to rite aid or the like, i have them price match costco!!
