On January 4th I had two prescriptions filled at Walgreens in Show Low Arizona. These prescriptions were for 30 tablets of Tamsulosin 0.4MG and 30 tablets of Finasteride 5MG. I was charged $186.98 for these generic drugs. When checking out I questioned the amount I was charged and was told this is Walgreens "CASH" price and there was not a lower price.
When I left Walgreens with my prescriptions I felt I had been screwed for generic drugs so I went across the street to Wal Mart to obtain a price quote on the same two identical prescriptions. The quote from was $87.72 for both prescriptions.
I left and went back to Walgreens question why I was charged $99 more than and I was told by the Pharmacy Manager that was selling these two drugs as "Lost Leader" and there was nothing Walgreens could do about matching. I don't believe is in the business of loosing money.
I you are having a prescription filled or refilled get a quote from before ordering. Sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company. Plus, if you post a competitors name more than likely they will show up on search engines as a Rip-off! - - your comments on this policy are welcome.
