Investigative journalism: lowest generic drug prices ... Costco
Edited on Sat Feb-07-04 02:59 AM by Bozita
looks like it's Costco...

local tv news does themselves proud.

WHERE IS THE BEST PRICE?
Meanwhile, who remains the undisputed champ in generic drug pricing? It’s still Costco, the warehouse store where you don’t need to be a member to get your prescriptions filled at rock-bottom prices. Not even Alan Levin can compete with what they charge.

1. Costco is proof positive that responsible business is profitable
Their stores average twice the profit of Sams Clubs, they pay their employees a starting wage of $10/hour with benefits, the CEO has donated $90,000 to oust Bush...and now this.

Everyone who has a Costco near them should show how they appreciate this with their wallets.
