7. Wow wow wow. Just called Costco.

They do not normally stock one of his four meds, so that one is higher than 4 of the 5 pharmacies I called for full retail price.
The other three are all cheaper than anyone else.

One of those is 45.52 PER YEAR, instead of the $505.08 that CVS charges for a year's worth. That's a Donut Hole saviour
right there all by itself.

The third one is 93.64 per year, versus an average of $200 per year at the other pharmacies.


So, if we get the one prescription at Target, and the other three at Costco, then our annual total retail price
for his prescriptions comes down to $1351.44, almost HALF of what our insurance has been charged through CVS.

Wow,wow, wow. I can't thank you enough. And actually, I had forgotten that my husband drives to Harrisburg
several times a month to meet with hobby members, so he can pick up his prescriptions then. They all expire
within one week of each other, so he can get them all at once (as long as I am the one who keeps track and calls
them in for him; he waits until he has one or two or zero pills left and then calls, the boob...especially dumb when
CVS never has them in stock...)

Thank you Thank you Thank you!
