Cheap Drugs (Inexpensive Prescription Medications)

Times are, as they say, tight.

While I'm no particular fan of Wal-Mart, they are offering $4/30 days on over 360 commonly prescribed medications. That's mighty tough to beat. Yes, that's $4.00 for up to 30 days on normal dosages which is 13 cents a day.

Cash paying patients should compare this to other large operations such as Rite-Aid and Long's where the average mark-up on medications is 5-6 times the Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP).

If you have prescription drug coverage including "mail-in" pharmacies (Phamacy Benefit Managers, or PBM's) this still might beat the co-pays.

Furthermore, these are real every day widely used medicines and not oddball rarely used ones.
