Mar 2023

I had a choice of Walgreens or Walmart for stuff I need immediately on my Part D. I know stuff about Walmart pharmacies that I wish I didn't, besides which there are always godawful lines there whenever I am in the place, so I decided on Walgreens. I never use them unless I have to. Maybe next year things will be different.

Might be a good time to check them out to see what they stock and where they deliver Hekate Mar 2023 #22

First, I would suggest communicating with AARP. It can't hurt & might help, if enough people do so Hekate Mar 2023 #32
